Some women waltz easily into pregnancy and motherhood, at least in the Hollywood version of the story.  This was not the version today’s guest experienced. Getting pregnant and being pregnant was not as straightforward as she was led to believe. Recovering from her first trimester loss was challenging, but my guest and her partner persevered and her subsequent pregnancy went swimmingly. The next challenge: birth--which was physically and emotionally daunting. And as she recovered from the birth, she was introduced to the relentless press of colic. Slowly, slowly the colic subsided and now the greatest challenge is planning weekend adventures with an entertaining and talkative toddler.  We also include the insights of Dr. Lisa Chamberlain, a pediatrician with insights on colic.
