Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saved, Single and Pregnant was inspired after I gave birth to my son as a single Christian woman over twenty three years ago. It addresses relationship issues, parenting struggles medical diagnoses, and triumph! Further, it speaks to how we can become unknowingly ensnared and perpetually entrapped. Transparency, I believe, is necessary in order to set people free from their bondages. My purpose is to give hope to the hopeless, discouraged, powerless or naïve. As I share my life's journey to date, I am hopeful and prayerful as others read my story and testimony they will be strengthened and encouraged that they can overcome their valley experiences. I believe with truth, acknowledgement, education and cooperation along with prayer and obedience one can be victorious in life. Life is not perfect for any of us. I heard someone say "we have all been dealt a difficult hand, the true test is how well we play the hand we have been dealt. Grace and Peace!

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller If you work hard enough, if you want it enough, if you’re smart and talented and “good enough,” you can do anything. Except get pregnant. Her whole life, Lucy Knisley wanted to be a mother. But when it was finally the perfect time, conceiving turned out to be harder than anything she’d ever attempted. Fertility problems were followed by miscarriages, and her eventual successful pregnancy plagued by health issues, up to a dramatic, near-death experience during labor and delivery. This moving, hilarious, and surprisingly informative memoir, Kid Gloves, not only follows Lucy’s personal transition into motherhood but also illustrates the history and science of reproductive health from all angles, including curious facts and inspiring (and notorious) figures in medicine and midwifery. Whether you’ve got kids, want them, or want nothing to do with them, there’s something in this graphic memoir to open your mind and heart.

Download or read book Saved Single and Pregnant written by LaTasha V. Lyons and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever awakened the morning after a sexual encounter only to prepare yourself for church and pray through the regrets? Questions like, What was I thinking? and Could I be pregnant? flood your brain. That feeling of guilt and sorrow lingers so much that it feels like a dark cloud is hovering over you for everyone to see. Is it conviction? Is it condemnation? Your next set of decisions are crucial because in them lies the keys to the freedom you've prayed for. A mother of five, LaTasha Lyons is familiar with the pain of single motherhood and the judgment of others. She faced the consequences of her relationship with another man in the church and entered into God's rest that was patiently waiting for her. But her church refused to offer forgiveness and welcome. Rather, she was subjected to condemnation and ostracism. Saved, Single, and Pregnant addresses the way some churches approach the struggle of premarital sex. LaTasha offers understanding and hope for unwed mothers and shares stories highlighting God's faithfulness to her in her times of need. Her vulnerable sharing provides unique insight into the troublesome approach many Christians take. If you are Saved, Single, and Pregnant, find your true place in God's family and embrace the redemption he offers.

When you are pregnant, you get plenty of advice about your growing body and developing baby. Yet so much about motherhood happens in your head. What everyone really wants to know: Is this normal? -Even after months of trying, is it normal to panic after finding out you’re pregnant? -Is it normal not to feel love at first sight for your baby? -Is it normal to fight with your parents and partner? -Is it normal to feel like a breastfeeding failure? -Is it normal to be zonked by “mommy brain?” In What No One Tells You, two of America’s top reproductive psychiatrists reassure you that the answer is yes. With thirty years of combined experience counseling new and expectant mothers, they provide a psychological and hormonal backstory to the complicated emotions that women experience, and show why it’s natural for “matrescence”—the birth of a mother—to be as stressful and transformative a period as adolescence.

Download or read book Here s the Plan written by Allyson Downey and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.

Download or read book No One Tells You This written by Glynnis MacNicol and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured in multiple “must-read” lists, No One Tells You This is “sharp, intimate…A funny, frank, and fearless memoir…and a refreshing view of the possibilities—and pitfalls—personal freedom can offer modern women” (Kirkus Reviews). If the story doesn’t end with marriage or a child, what then? This question plagued Glynnis MacNicol on the eve of her fortieth birthday. Despite a successful career as a writer, and an exciting life in New York City, Glynnis was constantly reminded she had neither of the things the world expected of a woman her age: a partner or a baby. She knew she was supposed to feel bad about this. After all, single women and those without children are often seen as objects of pity or indulgent spoiled creatures who think only of themselves. Glynnis refused to be cast into either of those roles, and yet the question remained: What now? There was no good blueprint for how to be a woman alone in the world. It was time to create one. Over the course of her fortieth year, which this ​“beguiling” (The Washington Post) memoir chronicles, Glynnis embarks on a revealing journey of self-discovery that continually contradicts everything she’d been led to expect. Through the trials of family illness and turmoil, and the thrills of far-flung travel and adventures with men, young and old (and sometimes wearing cowboy hats), she wrestles with her biggest hopes and fears about love, death, sex, friendship, and loneliness. In doing so, she discovers that holding the power to determine her own fate requires a resilience and courage that no one talks about, and is more rewarding than anyone imagines. “Amid the raft of motherhood memoirs out this summer, it’s refreshing to read a book unapologetically dedicated to the fulfillment of single life” (Vogue). No One Tells You This is an “honest” (Huffington Post) reckoning with modern womanhood and “a perfect balance between edgy and poignant” (People)—an exhilarating journey that will resonate with anyone determined to live by their own rules.
