Opis

This is the baby shower gift every expectant mother must have. 
 
No doubt you have heard a lot of stories from other mums about what happens during labor, childbirth and your life as a new mom. But did they tell you… 
 
That some women experience orgasm while giving birth? 
How about that chewing gum can relief gas pain after you have a caesarean? 
Or about the changes to your emotions post-baby?  
 
Because each birth is so different, and some things are just too gross or embarrassing to share, many women don’t find out the truth about what can, and often does, happen to women during labour, childbirth and the first few weeks of motherhood, until they go through it themselves.  
 
UNTIL NOW. 
 
This book contains experiences from almost one thousand mothers from around the world – things they wish they had known before having a baby. 
 
Honest, factually-correct, funny, informative and a little gross, this is the best baby shower gift every soon-to-be mum must have.The promise throughout the book is to speak the truth, warts and all. The author, Jennifer Hacker Pearson, hopes that by sharing these experiences mums-to-be and new mothers will be better prepared going into their journey of childbirth and motherhood, and that their knowledge of these things, and that they happen to other women too, will reduce their chance of perinatal fear, stress, anxiety and depression.  Jennifer Hacker Pearson holds a PhD in Medicine, however she wrote this book as a mother for mothers. The experiences detailed in I Wish Someone Had Told Me… are true, gross, entertaining, sometimes rude, and an absolute must to share.
