When global pop star Kelly Rowland became a mom for the first time, giving birth to her son Titan, she felt the most incredible love she had ever experienced. But after spending nine months so focused on the baby growing inside her, she was caught completely off guard by how much she had changed. Like many first-time moms, she was not ready for what had happened to her body and for so many overwhelming new thoughts and emotions. She wondered: Will I Ever Walk Again? Will I Ever Sleep Again? Are My Boobs Always Going to Be Like This? Rowland had questions about everything from postpartum bleeding, skin and hair changes, and dealing with aches and pains to getting back in shape and sex after baby. She also weighed the larger notions about what she wanted out of motherhood and the rest of her life.

It was a good thing that Rowland's longtime OB/GYN Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman was right there to answer every single crazy question that popped into her head. Nothing fazed Dr. Bickman and she provided Rowland with the answers she so desperately needed, telling her over and over that, in the months after a woman gives birth, nothing is exactly strange, but nothing is necessarily normal either. It's all just part of the "miracle" of birth.

In Whoa, Baby! Rowland and Dr. Bickman team up to share this reassuring information with new moms everywhere. Often hilarious and always down-to-earth, Rowland and Dr. Bickman cover every surprising challenge that new moms face.

I started reading this book a couple of weeks before I had my first child and it was so on point and timely! I loved the transparency and openness. There were so many topics I never discussed with my own doctor or other mom friends. I found this book to be extremely helpful while transitioning into life as a new mommy! Way to go, Kelly!

Informative & Descriptive

I liked the real life examples that were shared from two mothers, one who is a doctor.

Whoa Baby...This Book was Great !

This book came out at the right time. I just had my baby 2 months ago and it was easy to listen to and very relatable. Every new mom will benefit from this book ! I appreciated the honesty and medical information as well !

Definitely worth the read!

Because of my limited time, I put the speed up a bit. Didn’t take away from the quality of the book though!

The silver lining

I’m 3 weeks postpartum and feeling all the feels. This book affirmed that I’m not crazy, and reminding me that this motherhood thing is a process that won’t always be easy. I’d highly recommend this audible for any first time mom.
