This book should be handed out in hospitals for women who have had a c-section. For a woman with no knowledge on what to expect before, during, and after a c-section, this book contains all the information that I needed to know. The book is very easy to read, every page is in glossy color with many pictures on what to expect and how to do the recovery exercises. The section on breastfeeding is very helpful as well. The book is divided into sections for each part of recovery, from 1-3 days, 4-7, weeks 2-12, 12-24, etc. I started reading this from my library on week 11 and started from the beginning exercises (from day 1) and feel GREAT after doing them. I was unsure what exercises I could do besides keigals and walking, this answered everything for me.
I highly recommend!

It is a good resource but it is too general. I was looking for something a little more specific that I could use during recovery for more specific questions and with more concrete examples and detailed descriptions of what to expect.

I didn't really care for this book. I didn't get it until about a month after my emergency c-section, and by then I was pretty much good just from doing day to day activities. Going through it I didn't really find anything of much use. But I'm sure it can help some women, I'm just not one of them
