The Post-Pregnancy Handbook: The Only Book That Tells What the First Year Is Really All About-Physically, Emotionally, Sexually Brown SylviaPaperback

While a number of books exist which deal with various aspects of the postnatal experience - breastfeeding, exercise, motherhood, post-partum depression - this is the first complete source of information on what a woman experiences both physically and emotionally in the days, weeks and months after childbirth. From Sylvia Brown, a mother, and Mary Dowd Struck, RN, MS, CNM, a nurse/midwife, comes The Post-Pregnancy Handbook, a wonderfully comprehensive, honest self-help guide which every new (and repeat) mother should keep by her bedside. It is also the only book in its field which balances medical advice with practical tips and numerous references to alternative remedies.
