Life after birth Book

At the beginning of the book, there's so much about the history of motherhood & especially post-partum-ness that I gobbled up greedily and quickly! Then, when I was too exhausted 3 nights in a row to finish the chapter called "Exhaustion", something also happened to my ability to finish the last third of the book. I got pretty tired of the writing style. However, I would reccommend this for all new parents (new moms especially) and all of those who know new moms. This book actually made me think about how I hadn't been taking care of myself--so obsessed with baby Finn--and that I needed to take iron supplements and continue to focus on recovering from birth. Birth takes a long time to recover from and it's okay. Yeah!
