A mother's love for her child is instant and overwhelming ... or so we're told. But what happens when that bond isn't instant? What happens when the first few days, weeks, and months of motherhood are impossibly difficult? What happens if it feels like you just don't love your baby? Worldwide, around 10% of new mothers experience postpartum depression every year. And the experience is crippling.But in this book, psychologist
Kathryn Whitehead, and postpartum survivor,
Sonya Watson, give us new hope. Sonya is brutally honest about how badly postpartum affected her, and reveals what really helped her get through it, while Kathryn's user-friendly, self-help approach will give you new tools to tackle your postpartum depression.
