Book Reviews of The Year After Childbirth: Enjoying Your Body, Your Relationships, and Yourself in Your Baby's First Year

Book Review: The gift every new Mum should receive after delivery.
Summary: 4 Stars

You're lying in a hospital bed, the last 12-24 hours have been the most gruelling , terrifying and wonderful of your life, and in your arms is the object of your hard work - your new baby. What happens now?...

If you are buying a gift for a new born, why not consider buying this for their new mum. While hundreds of books deal with the physiological and emotional changes of pregnancy, this is the only one that talks about what happens to the Mother after the birth. In a straight-forward and reassuring tone it discusses how a woman might be feeling about the birth and her new child, and about the changes that have happened and will continue to happen to her body. What emerges is a wonderfully positive book that has the potential to inspire women to a renewed confidence and pride in their body's capacity to create and nurture life not only inside but outside the womb. A breath of fresh air in a world obsessed with silicon notions of femininity.
