About this listen

Is it supposed to be this hard? It's a question all new mothers ask.

The moment after birthing your baby, you enter postpartum. It's the blurriest of transitions – there's joy and awe but also intense physical recovery, fluctuating hormones, a brain that can't find the right words, and so much to learn. It's beautiful and it's hard.

The Complete Guide to Postpartum is your comforting and enlightening companion to navigating this entirely new life, from the earliest moments post-birth to many years later.

This guide includes:

- Your postpartum preparation checklist

- The fourth trimester

- Mental health

- Hormones

- The pelvic floor

- Postpartum with your partner

- Feeding

- Sleep

- Taking care of yourself and boosting your confidence

- Trusted postpartum resources

Full of expert advice, mothers' stories and evidence-based information, this invaluable guide will support you into motherhood with confidence and reassurance.
