Birth and Beyond by Sally Williams

Challenging old wives' tales and popular myths about motherhood, this book sets out to show how varied maternal responses are, and how often a mother's expectations are quickly shattered. Many women, for example, experience physical discomfort for much longer after giving birth than they had been led to expect. For others, their emotional well-being may suffer. The book is not about baby-care, but about the mother, her mental and physical health, and the problems she must face. It includes case studies and interviews with mothers, doctors, midwives, obstetricians, gynaecologists, therapists, and organizations such as Relate.
