To Be A Mom

About the Book

For many women, having children is extremely important. For a small, but growing percentage of these women, conceiving biological children of their own is very difficult and sometimes impossible. Then there is a small percentage of others who are able to conceive a child, but have high-risk pregnancies, and their children are born premature, with health issues, challenged, or in some cases have a combination of all three.

After twelve years of waiting and hoping, Susan Labouliere-Perry was finally blessed with a child. She had a high-risk pregnancy and her daughter was born eight weeks premature. To Be A Mom is a collection of her thoughts, anxieties, joys and thankfulness of finally becoming a mom.

To Be A Mom is a collection of essays and poems reflecting the experiences and joys of being a mom. Anyone who has struggled with infertility, high-risk pregnancies and premature births will be given hope, a few laughs along with a few tears, and the knowledge that they are not alone in their thoughts, fears, concerns, hopes and happiness.
