Intimate stories from notable and influential women that celebrate the early stages of life and the start of motherhood.

A book that changes the narrative about postpartum, Life After Birth illustrates what life is really like after birth--not just days and weeks later, but also years afterward. What is the transition to motherhood really like? From a parent in the military to a mother's pregnancy of 42 weeks, Life After Birth is filled with accounts of strength, resilience, and power. Every birth is a unique story. While we tend to focus our attention on the arrival of a baby, in pregnancy parents are also introduced to a new self. Life After Birth reflects on the many physical changes as well as the myriad of feelings that are brought on by this transformation and the inseparable bond a new life brings. Revealing real experiences and raw emotions, this book is a celebration of life and a celebration of the human body.
