Book Review: The New Mom’s Guide to Your Body After Baby

It is such a treat to receive books that are real gems. You know instinctively when you read a new book that you will either skim through it and rarely, if ever, pick it up, or if you will read it time and time again. Believe us when we say: The New Mom’s Guide to Your Body After Baby is a book you will read, appreciate, and recommend countless times to your girlfriends.

The New Mom’s Guide to Your Body After Baby is a pocket-sized masterpiece full of real-life wisdom for moms who have just given birth. There is no sugarcoating going on in Your Body After Baby. Susan Wallace and Monica Reed, MD tell it like it is from passing blood clots after giving birth, to forgetting large portions of what went on during a C-section, to the agonizing pain of uterine contractions when your uterus is reshaping itself after birth. They don’t miss a beat. Your Body After Baby is a book that you will truly and honestly appreciate because the authors tell you exact details about how your body transitions after you have finally come home from the hospital. Susan and Monica understand that authentic, “no holds bar” information is what moms, especially new moms, need because it is sheer hell trying to figure it out on your own.

When you are going to all of those baby showers this spring, make sure to drop Your Body After Baby in a gift bag. At  $8.99, it’s a real steal. The expectant mom will thank you, but only after she’s gotten into the swing of new motherhood.
