Finally, a book for real moms that tells the honest truth about what to expect emotionally after having a baby. In their groundbreaking Postpartum Survival Guide, Dr. Ann Dunnewold and Dr. Diane Sanford shattered the silence about the enormous emotional challenges of postpartum adjustment and motherhood. Now, in Life Will Never Be The Same: The Real Mom's Postpartum Survival Guide, their new definitive guide to emotional health surrounding childbearing, they present their clinically-proven strategies for surviving and thriving during both the postpartum period and a lifetime of motherhood. The feelings surrounding becoming a mom are often more powerful than feelings at any other time in a woman's life. Pregnant and new moms take every precaution to ensure their physical health, from all the latest tests to prenatal vitamins. However, emotional health is just as critical, if not more! In fact, postpartum depression is the single most frequent complication of childbirth. As moms, the authors know what a wild ride pregnancy and postpartum emotions bring. In this book, they share with you the best kept secret of all: caring for yourself emotionally will lead to a happier, more successful journey through motherhood and beyond. Within this book is exactly what every woman needs to know to balance her life as a mom. In this book you will learn to: • Be emotionally healthy in the critical postpartum period. • Prevent normal ups and downs from turning into anxiety and depression. • Cope with postpartum depression and anxiety. • Replace mothering guilt and inadequacy with confidence and strength. • Survive and thrive as a mother by learning self-care, the key to emotional health and successful mothering.

Fantastic! Highest Recommendation! Have been a fan of the original "Postpartum Survival Guide published in 1994! Carry it in my briefcase...great resource...wonderful book to recommend to my clients. Now, we have Drs. Dunnewold and Sanford's newest book. Read it! Loved it! Will carry it in my briefcase as a companion to the original guide. I never leave home without them! Have a new grandchild on the way..my daughter in law is getting this book. Thank you, Ann and Diane.
I just had my second baby, read this book, and wish I had known about it when I had my first. Challenges faced by new moms are presented with compassion, helpful advice, survival tips, and information on whether (& how) moms might need to seek additional help. When I was discharged from the hospital, I was given a glossy brochure with pretty pictures and basic instructions (such as giving baby a bath), but I needed real-life advice to keep from being overwhelmed. This book gives that advice, provides perspective, and helped me keep from feeling alone. All moms need this support!
