postpartum book

These titles are offered in common print formats, primarily paperback and hardcover.

Content spans the first year of motherhood, pregnancy after prenatal or infant loss, complicated journeys to parenthood (including fertility issues, adoption, surrogacy and loss), and recovery and identity changes after birth.

They target new and expecting parents, movement and fitness professionals who work with pregnant/postnatal clients, medical and mental-health practitioners, and general readers interested in memoirs about parenthood.

These titles appear in family and parenting, medical and allied-health, pregnancy and childbirth wellness, and psychology/mental-health genres.

Approaches vary: some are practical how-to guides focused on self-care and preparation, others are research-based resources for professionals, several are memoirs and personal accounts, and some blend ritual and daily practices for emotional preparation.
