First off. Having a baby is ROUGH period. End of story. As with anything else, preparedness and self awareness can get you through the tough times. I loved this book, and wish there were more resources like this in my rural community. It’s wild thinking how varied the contributing factors are to post partum depression - you name it and it’s bothering some person some where. I think a lot of individualize generalize the “baby blues” (don’t you hate that phrasing 😑) and this book doesn’t do that. I felt validated and I think a lot of other parents, friends, family, etc... will feel similarly. If you want to relate, gather intel, or are just interested, check this one out.
Thanks, NetGalley for the ARC!
