Description
Coping with Birth Trauma by Lucy Jolin explores the often-overlooked challenges faced by new mothers. For many women, becoming a parent can be unexpectedly hard, and it's essential to acknowledge that not loving your baby at birth or finding aspects of motherhood boring and miserable is common.
Postnatal depression affects around one in six new mothers, while up to 200,000 women each year may feel traumatised by childbirth. This book offers guidance on how to cope with feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, and other symptoms, helping you make a successful and happy adjustment to motherhood.
Lucy Jolin's approach covers topics such as defining birth trauma and postnatal depression, bonding with your baby, family relationships, body image, and finding a new identity. While society's expectations of motherhood can be unrealistic, this book provides practical advice on how to navigate these challenges and find confidence in your role.
