Parenting forums are a hotbed of emotion, and divided along party lines. There are the SAHMs (stay at home mums), the working mums, the desperately TTC (trying to conceive), and so forth. But these mums do share one attitude: they are almost exclusively pro-baby.
Heaven help the poor woman who falls pregnant and then gets stage fright. The forums don't offer a lot of comfort and companionship. God forbid that you should post such a thing and have it read by a TTC mum.
But really, is resenting one's pregnancy so rare? Or is it just that talking about it has become taboo, in this age of increasing fertility problems?
I'll fess up. I'm one of those mums who got cold feet. Here's my pregnancy story... because maybe you're hating being pregnant, and shocked by the thought of the changes it will bring, and you think you're the only person in the world who's ever felt like that. And that maybe you're some sort of monster.
Advice and observations from a qualified carer and educator to help parents and childcare professionals maintain a loving, respectful relationship with their children.
