There are few sensations more wonderful than a cuddle with your new
baby. But what happens if you burst into tears every time you
re-live your baby's birth? If you spend your day staring at the
wall instead of enjoying outings together? If you find yourself
crying with exhaustion when faced with a screaming baby at 4am? For
some women, becoming a parent can be unexpectedly hard. With
today's high expectations of motherhood, there is still a taboo
about not loving your baby at birth, or finding some aspects of
motherhood boring and miserable. Postnatal depression (PND) affects
around one in six new mothers, while it's estimated that up to
200,000 women each year may feel traumatised by childbirth, with
feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, and symptoms such as flashbacks,
nightmares and persistent memories of birth. This book explores how
to cope with such feelings, and how to make a successful and happy
adjustment to motherhood even when it doesn't come naturally at
first. Topics include: Defining birth trauma and postnatal
depression When bonding doesn't happen - learning to love your baby
Family relationships and how they may change You and your partner -
how your relationship changes once you have a baby Body image - how
a baby changes your body; social pressures on your body Coming to
terms with your new identity Moving forward You can't change
society and its often unrealistic expectations and stereotypes of
motherhood, but one day everything will fall into place and you
will come to love your new baby and feel confident in your new
role.
