As a new mother, you're so vulnerable and make mistakes all the time. I guess there's more pressure when you're in the public eye, but I'd never stand by and let anyone exploit my daughter.

I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody.

However pragmatic you are, it is very demanding being a new parent.

I think we are not yet well aware that, unfortunately, we have a short time to be moms. This is not to suggest that we should rush to have children or do it in a crazy way. I think that's the most important decision of a woman's life.

It's very important to be in your child's life and know what's going on and be there with them.

The thing is, when you have a child with someone, like it or not, you're going to have to have a continuing relationship with them.

There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.

The love you have for your child is so much greater than any challenge you'll face as a parent, and that's what helps you through.

Any woman knows that it takes two people to be a good parent.

Remember that a woman who has given birth to a dead child has given birth and is recovering physically, too. Don't be afraid of grieving parents.
