Why “Bouncing Back” Is A Load of Crap

April 20, 2017

I loved being pregnant. I loved every second of it. I had an easy time conceiving, an easy pregnancy, and a perfect birth. In general I had easy introduction to motherhood. The going got tough during postpartum recovery. Even then, I don’t think I have […]

The Real Mom Wars We Should Be Fighting

How I Prepared For An Unmedicated Birth (and Succeeded)

April 4, 2017
