A dive into the quest for late motherhood.

Between the pressure to stay young and carefree, career ambitions, or simply bad timing, many women today are more or less consciously delaying the decision to become a mother. Muriel Flis-Trèves invites us behind the closed doors of her practice to listen to her patients’ questions. Why did they wait so long? What does it mean to become a parent? Does motherhood still hold the same meaning today as it once did? How can I explain my child’s conception? The strong desire for a child, combined with sometimes difficult medical processes, also leads these women to reflect on their own childhood and trauma.
