You know something funny? I was just reading a book called Misconceptions by
Naomi Wolf (a feminist writer) who said that all her friends were upset with
other women who glorified motherhood and birth and never told them how
difficult it could all be. They said they would rather have heard the "horror
stories" going in so that they would have been more prepared for the
difficulties they faced, that they would have known it wasn't just them having
problems, that they weren't somehow abnormal.

Just thought I'd throw that out there, FWIW.
