There is no one path to motherhood, and no singular experience of raising a child. These six fiction shorts cover just a sampling of the experience of bringing life into this world and then nurturing it - with all the complications that come with both: From the complex realities pregnant women face, the maternal impulse to protect others, to the unique ways working moms connect with their children.

A doctor puts aside concerns about her own pregnancy as she works to care for a miscarrying patient.
