Now I've Had the Baby... Help!
Your New Life
By Linda Jenkins, RN, Childbirth Educator
Having a baby is always a unique experience. Some women who thought themselves ideally suited to motherhood as a full-time job found themselves living in conditions far less than desirable. Others who may have had successful careers, interrupting them only briefly for childbirth, may find themselves wanting to stay home indefinitely to be with their child. Each woman, and every woman, will have her own highs and lows where child-rearing is concerned. Each new day is filled with different experiences, new hurdles and new joys. As one father said: "We are given children so that we may grow." Perhaps some days you won't feel the need for that much growth experience, but this is often the case in learning. Some of your toughest courses in school may have taught you the most. One of the most difficult jobs on this earth, parenting, may also be the place where you learn the most.
