What is the transition to motherhood really like? From a parent in the military to a mother s pregnancy of 42 weeks, Life After Birth is filled with accounts of strength, resilience, and power. Every birth is a unique story. While we tend to focus our attention on the arrival of a baby, in pregnancy parents are also introduced to a new self.

Revealing real experiences and raw emotions, this book is a celebration of life and a celebration of the human body.
