Who I Work With..
Anyone who has little or no experience being a mother and would like some help figuring it all out!
Even if you have mothered before and are faced with a new situation, help can be invaluable!
For example, some of my clients may be expecting multiples and some are having their second child and have never mothered more than one child at a time. Some want to have a different experience that they had with their first baby.
Do Some of These Statements Sound Like You?
I am at home with my new baby. I didn't think it would be so hard. I am exhausted and lonely and find myself wanting my old life back. I am afraid that I was not meant to be a mother.
My baby is a few months old. I want to be the best mother I can be. But I feel so overwhelmed by all the different ways of parenting. Do I let my baby cry to sleep or nurse to sleep? I don't want to damage my baby. I just wish someone would tell me what the right thing to do is.
I am trying my best to balance work with having a baby, but I am exhausted. I am a single mom and I am not in any position to take time off. I feel so guilty about leaving my son in day-care everyday. I worry about this all the time.
My husband feels so left out now that we have a baby. He says I have not time for him anymore. It is true. I am crazy about my baby and feel no need for sex with my husband. He doesn't seem to understand what I need from him. I am afraid my marriage is falling apart.
I have found myself suddenly pregnant without planning to be. While this is definitely not the right time for me to having a baby, I want to be a mom. I am just not sure that I am ready or even know how to be.
My husband and I are finally pregnant after years of trying to conceive. With a fertility help we have a healthy pregnancy at last. Yesterday we found out that I am carrying more than one baby. I am in shock! How will we cope?
I am waiting to adopt a baby. We have been approved for over a year. The waiting is really hard. I don't know what to do with myself. Nothing seems certain. I am beginning to wonder if we will ever hold our baby.
My partner and I are pregnat via sperm donation. While we are both ecstatic about this. I sometimes wonder what this will all mean when our baby is old enough to understand.
