Titel: Laughter and Tears

Sammendrag: Laughter and Tears is the first book to fully explore the dramatic ups and downs new mothers often go through in that critical first year. It covers a full range of issues and feelings—pride and elation; depression, exhaustion, and isolation; sexual appetite and body image; anger and resentment toward doctors, family members, and even the baby itself; and reservations about returning to work. The book offers coping strategies to make the adjustment to parenthood as graceful and rewarding as possible.
