“On Choosing Motherhood After a Lifetime of Ambivalence”

I got this to help my partner and I think about the issue of becoming parents, and to address our mixed feelings about it. This was definitely worth a read, but I have to say that while Walker may have been ambivalent about motherhood her whole life, she certainly isn’t now. This narrative does address some stresses and pain and worries of pregnancy and parenthood, but it is very much a rah, rah, babies are the most incredible magical miracle of life kind of book. I didn’t read it with my partner because I knew he was looking for something more even-handed.
