"There is always a post-birth story. Everyone asks about your birth story, but what about after that? 'Second Labor' features twenty four mothers' unique, personal experiences after having a baby. Their stories are bold, honest, and reflective. You'll grab for the tissue box, laugh out loud, or both. These personal stories provide validation for other mothers, as well as insights for anyone supporting postpartum women, whether you're family, a friend, or a professional. From a first baby to a fifth, in expected or unexpected circumstances, Second Labor gives voice to a wide spectrum of stories about what life is truly like with a new baby."--Back cover.
