unlike
any
other
in
your
life.
Having
a
baby
will
redirect
your
preferences
and
pleasures

of
your
values.As

and
priorities.

startling
way,

a
child
will
influence
all
of
your
closest
relationships
and
redefine
your
role
in
your
family's
history.
The
charting
of
this
remarkable,
new
realm
is
the
subject
of
this
compelling
book.Renowned
psychiatrist
Daniel
N.
Stern
has
joined
forces
with
pediatrician
and
child
psychiatrist
Nadia
Bruschweiler-Stern
and
journalist
Alison
Freeland
to
paint
a
wonderfully
evocative
picture
of
the
psychology
of
motherhood.
At
the
heart
ofThe
Birth
of
a
Motheris
an
arresting
premise:
Just
as
a
baby
develops
physically
in
utero
and
after
birth,
so
a
mother
is
born
psychologically
in
the
many
months
that
precede
and
follow
the
birth
of
her
baby.The
recognition
of
this
inner
transformation
emerges
from
hundreds
of
interviews
with
new
mothers
and
decades
of
clinical
experience.
Filled
with
revealing
case
studies
and
personal
comments
from
women
who
have
shared
this
experience,
this
book
will
serve
as
an
invaluable
sourcebook
for
new
mothers,
validating
the
often
confusing
emotions
that
accompany
the
development
of
this
new
identity.
In
addition
to
providing
insight
into
the
unique
state
of
motherhood,
the
authors
touch
on
related
topics
such
as
going
back
to
work,
fatherhood,
adoption,
and
premature
birth.During
pregnancy,
mothers-to-be
talk
about
morning
sickness
and
their
changing
bodies,
and
new
mothers
talk
about
their
exhaustion,
the
benefits
of
nursing
or
bottle-feeding,
and
the
dilemma
of
whether
or
when
they
should
return
to
work.
And
yet,
they
can
be
strangely
mute
about
the
dramatic
and
often
overwhelming
changes
going
on
in
their
inner
lives.
Finally,
withThe
Birth
of
a
Mother,
these
powerful
feelings
are
eloquently
put
into
words.
