En savoir plus sur le livre

A badass, feminist exploration of pregnancy and early motherhood that debunks myths and outdated assumptions, this book offers guidance and camaraderie to women facing profound life changes. Angela Garbes, a first-time mother, found herself overwhelmed with questions about pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, and postpartum depression. However, she struggled to find satisfying answers amidst cautious statistics from OBs, conflicting online sources, and judgment-laden trusted books. To educate herself, she embarked on an intensive journey into the scientific and cultural aspects of motherhood, seeking answers that empower women to choose their own paths. Through rigorous research and personal experience, Garbes presents a compelling examination of the physiology, biology, chemistry, and psychology of motherhood. With a journalist's curiosity, a mother's urgency, and a food writer's passion, she delves into pressing topics such as postpartum hormones, breast milk, and miscarriage. Infused with humor and candor, this work offers a full-frontal look at the realities of motherhood, emphasizing the importance of understanding the human body and its workings. Women deserve to know what truly happens beneath the surface, and this book provides that insight.
