After Birth: Postpartum Recovery of the Body and Mind

"Why didn't anyone tell me this?" A question many women ask in the weeks - and even years - after having a baby. This needn't be you. After Birth covers all the important aspects of physical and mental postpartum recovery. Aspects such as sex, safe return to exercise, and dealing with depression and other postpartum complications. This book is suitable for (expectant) mothers and the people who care about them. It is not medical advice. Rather, see it as your best friend spilling the tea on all things postpartum - your best friend who has no filter, and just so happens to be a doctor.

Based in the UK, Dr Phoebe Ajayi is a primary care doctor with over a decade of medical experience. She draws on her personal and professional experience to help people optimise their health. For her work in women's health and rehabilitation, she received an award from the Royal College of General Practitioners. She is married to her soulmate, with whom she has two boisterous children.

This book discusses sensitive subjects like mental illness and infant loss.
