Special Book Review

"The New Mom's Survival Guide: How to Reclaim Your Body, Your Health, Your Sanity, and Your Sex Life After Having a Baby"
Becoming a mom is a wonderful experience, but it also brings with it many questions. There are so many helpful books out there that attempt to provide helpful information to new moms...how do you choose?

The book, "The New Mom's Survival Guide," by Jennifer Wider, M.D., makes it easy. As Jennifer suggests at one point in the book, "Almost everyone I know has a story like this..." (while speaking about one of many new mom situations)...and she's right. While reading Jennifer's book, I had numerous thoughts of, "Oh, I remember that," and "I went through the same thing." Although I personally had read many books before I had my child, there were still so many questions I needed answers to. While this book does not cover every single possible new mom situation (there are just too many to list), it does a wonderful job of briefly answering many popular new mom questions.

One nice thing about this book's format, is that questions, answers, and information is written as if your own doctor was speaking to you. There's a lot of advice, and explanations are given where it's needed. The book is small enough to carry with you, so you can use it as a guide if you need to look up something. Larger books, besides not the easiest to tote around, sometimes aren't the best source for new mom's because important information isn't as easily found -- it tends to get lost in its many pages. No such problem with this book :).

MyParenTime.com highly recommends "The New Mom's Survival Guide" -- the book is direct and very useful for new moms. Sure you can pick up the phone and call your doctor for every little question...or, you can just pick up this book. You're sure to refer to it many times.
