"But no one told me to expect this..."

So many new moms find themselves saying this phrase in the first hours, days, and weeks postpartum--sometimes even for years! That's where Instagram's wildly popular @mamapsychologists come in. In Not Your Mother's Postpartum Book, Chelsea and Caitlin share what to really expect postpartum--and it's not just the baby blues.

This refreshingly candid resource fills a notable void by providing real, honest, and raw insights into motherhood. With their nonjudgmental yet humorous tone, Caitlin and Chelsea provide a deep dive into all things #momlife, including:

  • Birth trauma & perinatal mood disorders
  • Baby feeding & sleep
  • The mental load of motherhood
  • Body image struggles
  • Mom guilt & burnout
  • NICU life
  • Intimacy & romance postpartum
  • Pregnancy complications & loss
  • The balancing act of returning to work
  • And more...

Mom life feels hard because it is hard. There is hope, and this book is here to provide it.
