Long description
One minute you are in stilettos sipping Martinis on the company account, the next you are bulk-buying maxi-pads and freezing your breast milk in ice trays. For most new moms the about-turn in lifestyle is an unexpected shock. You may think you have a good idea, and smile serenely when you hear of frazzled nerves and sleep deprivation, but until you live it, you cannot truly imagine the harrowing shock of the first few months with a newborn baby. It is a lonely time, with few resources for advice on how to get through smiling.
This is the book for every woman who has ever asked “How can I get my body back after my baby’s birth?” It is a practical and indispensable guide for the first 12 months after a birth that will take you from soft and saggy to firm and fabulous and from ratty and low to something
approaching your old calm, confident self. From tried and tested tricks, to extraordinary measures, from designer vaginal surgery to meditation, we come clean on the joys of motherhood.
We speak to the women who have clawed their way back, and to the experts who tell us how it should be done. Hey Baby! is written in a straight-talking, candid and humorous tone. It is how women talk to each other. It should be a staple on every new mom’s shelf.
