“Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.” Barbara Kingsolver

  • What is my support system like?
  • Will the father be an active parent?
  • How will my parents and extended family feel and will they help?
  • Are there community resources available?
  • How can I learn how to be the parent I want to be?
