Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

While there is a wealth of advice for new mums on caring for their babies, the same is not true for postpartum health. Fulfilling this vital need, After Birth is the ultimate postnatal primer for women facing changes to their bodies after having a baby.

Addressing issues great and small - from hair loss and stretch marks, to bladder and bowel leaks, painful sex, diastasis recti and mental health - researcher and writer Jessica Hatcher-Moore brings together straight-talking advice on preparation for childbirth, healing, and recovery in the weeks, months and even years that follow. She also offers insights for partners, whose role is often overlooked at this critical time.

Taking a broad look at what women can do for themselves at home, and also when to seek expert help, After Birth will reassure, inform and empower women to reclaim their post-birth bodies.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

'An absolute treasure trove on women's physical and mental postnatal health' – Milli Hill, author of Give Birth like a Feminist and The Positive Birth Book. Described as 'medically wise' and 'approachable' by Clover Stroud, the book is praised as 'essential reading for all parents to be' by Marina Fogle and noted for its honesty and humour by Ross J. Barr. The Telegraph hails it as a catalyst for a 'pelvic floor revolution'.
