I Wish Someone Had Told Me... reveals the things 1000 moms wish they knew before having their baby.
When a baby is born, a mother is born!
Matrescence is the transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother. Like adolescence (see the similarity in name?), matrescence physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually changes women. And like adolescence, we need to talk about it all, so women can be prepared for their journey into, and through, motherhood.
I Wish Someone Had Told Me... is the best baby shower gift mothers can get. It arms moms-to-be and new mums with information that 1000 mothers from around the world wish they knew, before having their babies, to prepare and empower themselves for aspects of matrescence.
Because some things in labour, childbirth and early motherhood are just too gross, embarrassing or uncomfortable to share, many parents don't find out the truth about what can, and often does happen to women until they go through it themselves.
UNTIL NOW.
I Wish Someone Had Told Me... is the baby book packed with honest, medically- and factually-correct, unspoken truths. It openly reveals the gross, embarrassing, funny, rude, uncomfortable and must-share things nobody likes to talk about, but every expectant parent must know.
Dr Jennifer Hacker Pearson holds a PhD in Medicine and degree in Psychotherapy. She wrote this book as a mother for mothers, because she wants every woman to be adequately prepared for the transformation of becoming a mother.
Knowledge is power. Empower yourself or someone you love.
