Beyond the Bump addresses how to navigate your body after birth, relationships, plans to return to work (or not), and your identity. There!s also advice on depression, anxiety and rage.

Sally!s writing uses a conversational style like a savvy, kind friend. Along with honest stories from other mothers, it makes for a highly readable book. Link to book
