Have you always dreamt about becoming a mother? Is it what you imagined it to be? You were told that all mothers are happy and perfect. In truth, motherhood is an emotional, complicated and compelling journey from conception, pregnancy, delivery, and into postpartum. No one tells you how hard it can be to actually get pregnant. Others seem to get it so easily, yet you struggle. When you are pregnant, instead of feeling endless joy, you feel sad, scared, angry or anxious.
