Why Postnatal Recovery Matters

During pregnancy the focus of antenatal preparation is the birth itself, and the importance of the postnatal period is often overlooked. Yet postnatal recovery (or a lack of it) can have consequences for the long-term health and wellbeing of both mother and baby.

In Why Postnatal Recovery Matters Sophie Messager draws on her experience as a scientist and doula to show that thinking ahead to after the birth can get new families off to the best possible start.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'I would highly recommend reading this book during pregnancy - in fact, if you are pregnant or the partner of someone who is, I would try to get a copy out to your family too. It is a book which offers a vital combination of understanding, recognition, science, historical and cultural research and real hands-on practical help.' - 5 Star Review on Amazon
