The Post Partum Book

The Post Partum Book is a realistic supportive guide for parents to the first year of life with their new child, includung pratical information on dealing with the ups and downs of birthing, recovery, parent-infant bonding, sexual relations, siblings, choosing a pediatrician - plus a complete exercise program to help the mother restore her self image. The Post Partum Book focuses not on the child but the parents, who must face a complex, often difficult period of adjustment as they bring a new child into their homes and families. For, whereas many expectant parents insist that "it won't happen to us," the fact remains that the post partum period is often filled with stresses and strains, with physiological and psychological changes, with normal, universal problems which confront all parents during this most demanding stage of a child's development. --- from book's dustjacket
