A recent article titled "Moms spill truth about motherhood" starts by saying "Motherhood is a wonderful responsibility -- but it can also be exhausting, confusing, infuriating and downright funny."
Talk with your pregnant daughter about what your life was like before you had children, and immediately after you gave birth.
Did you feel alone? Overwhelmed? Inadequate? What support did you have?
Did you feel maternal right away?
How is your pregnant daughter's situation similar and different from your own?
Brainstorm ways to cope with the feelings of being alone, overwhelmed, and sleep deprived, which your daughter will feel after she gives birth.
