Motherhood

Madison illuminates her mother's world. Some days Jennifer White Gradnigo feels like Madison's the only thing in her world. She wanted a child so badly before she met her husband that she was in the process of adoption. When Madison came into their life it truly was like Christmas. However she didn't fully realize how all-consuming motherhood would be for her. In Motherhood: Not for the Weak Jennifer talks candidly about what she experienced during her pregnancy and in the weeks immediately after giving birth. She never heard about most of what she experienced from anyone including her sisters. Once she started sharing the good the bad and the ugly about pregnancy it seemed to make others feel comfortable enough to do the same. Jennifer shares honest reflections about her pregnancy birth story and the first few weeks postpartum.
