Becoming a mother is never exactly as you had imagined it. For some women it is an ordeal, for others a delight. For many it is the most disturbing, challenging, and exciting experience of their lives. Whatever the birth was like, and however you feel about your baby, there will be unexpected problems, questions you want to ask, feelings you want to share. In The Year After Childbirth , Sheila Kitzinger gives the support every woman needs in this turbulent first year. There is no shortage of baby-care books, but this will be the only authoritative mother-care book on the market. It focuses on the women, on her physical and emotional experiences and her relationships during the often difficult transition to motherhood. Time and again women say that they felt prepared for the birth, but not for what happened afterwards. After all the anticipation and the attention that an expectant mother gets, she is often left to face this alone.
