Preparing For Motherhood: Miscarriage, Adjustments & Practical Tools

Preparing for Motherhood

A safe haven of honesty, growth, and empowerment.



By Nissy Tee

This is the book Nissy Tee wished someone had handed her before she began her own journey to motherhood — the one that doesn't pretend it's all baby showers and glowing bumps.

Nissy shares her own unfiltered story: the years spent afraid that motherhood meant losing herself, the honest conversation with her husband Ben that changed everything, the devastating miscarriage that followed her first pregnancy, and the fear that came hand-in-hand with the "rainbow baby" that came after. Nothing here is sanitised for the sake of comfort — because as she puts it, this is where we finally say out loud the things we're usually too afraid to.

Inside, you'll find:

• The unspoken realities of miscarriage and how to navigate the emotional aftermath
• Balancing ambition with motherhood — and why "good mother" doesn't have to mean losing yourself
• Practical preparation — mental, physical, and spiritual, including prayers for your child in the womb and your newborn
• Embracing the transition to mumpreneurship, for the women building a business and a family at once
• A full toolkit — hospital bag checklists, what baby actually needs, recommended reading, and a pregnancy glossary
• A bonus chapter of the symptoms nobody warns you about, straight from Nissy's own pregnancy

Whether you're trying to conceive, mid-pregnancy, grieving a loss, or simply wondering if motherhood is even the right path for you — this is a judgement-free space to be honest about all of it.

You are stronger than you know, more capable than you realise, and more loved than you can imagine.
