    About this ebook

    Any mother-to-be has to waddle through a landmine of expectations. 
    Brave New Mom is an humorous account of my valiant efforts at birthgiving… and of the rising feelings of guilt after I find out that my body can't produce more children. How did I became infertile? What wrong decision did I take? Could I have avoided the c-section? At the end of the guilt tunnel, a faint ray of serenity lightens the burden... 
    This short and quirky story will resonate with all the mothers crushed under the pressure of performance, by Michèle Laframboise.

    With sketches and pictures by the author's hand.
