There is no parenting manual. Come to think of it there is no infertility manual, no abortion manual, and no pregnancy manual either. At least none that can capture all the complexities and nuances of what it means to go through becoming a parent, trying to conceive, or making the decision to wait. There is also very little definitive writing on how these issues will affect your relationships with your spouse, your friends, your own parents, and the way you see the world.
It can be disheartening to feel anxious and upset when you are supposed to be excited about becoming a mother. It can be isolating to struggle through infertility treatments while your friends and siblings are getting pregnant with ease. It can be hard to stand by your decision to wait to start a family. It can be lonely to decide that having children is not the right course for you.
We work to guide you through the decision that is best for you. We help you mediate your relationships to ensure you will have the personal support you need to flourish in your new situation. We understand that, as a woman, starting a family or choosing not to can bring up identity issues. We can help you find your way through all the confusion.
