It is also the only book in its field which balances medical advice with practical tips and numerous references to alternative remedies. From Sylvia Brown, a mother, and Mary Dowd Struck, RN, MS, CNM, a nurse/midwife, comes <i>The Post-Pregnancy Handbook</i>, a wonderfully comprehensive, honest self-help guide which every new (and repeat) mother should keep by her bedside. Brown and Struck give detailed guidance on: <p/>The First Few Days <br>- alleviating discomfort from the after-effects of labor or a ceasarian <br>- making the hospital stay more pleasant <br>- coping with possible medical complications <p/>The First Few Weeks <br>- organizing home life with a new baby <br>- surviving fatigue <br>- breastfeeding successfully <br>- managing older siblings, parents and friends <br>- introducing a new dimension to the couple (returning to sex after childbirth) <br>- navigating the new mother's dietary needs <br>- identifying and overcoming a range of emotional difficulties from baby blues to severe postnatal depression <br>- dealing with stress, guilt and that elusive maternal instinct <p/>The First Year <br>- achieving a complete physical recovery: how to get back into shape from the inside out <br>- restoring strength and tone to the pelvic floor <br>- countering the legacies of pregnancy: problems with hair, skin, and varicose veins <p/>A thorough, straightforward guide to helping the new mother achieve an effective and harmonious recovery.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Sylvia Brown</b> wrote The Post-Pregnancy Handbook in response to her own frustration at the lack of comprehensive information on the mother in the weeks and months after childbirth. <i>The Post-Pregnancy Handbook</i> is her first book. <p/>Trained as a nurse midwife at Columbia University, <b>Mary Dowd Struck</b>, RN, MS, CNM has been Senior Vice President for Patient Care Services at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island since 1986 and has been a Teaching Associate in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Brown University School of Medicine since 1994.
