Mama You Got This

A Little Helping Hand for New Parents

Brought to you by Penguin.

You have a baby! Isn't it amazing - and also pretty terrifying?!

I love being a Spice Girl, but what I am proudest of is being a mum. Even though I had all the real-life girl power of the actual Spice Girls on speed-dial, my incredible partner and my mum, I had so many worries and questions I couldn't always ask out loud. What I really, really wanted was one easy-to-digest, honest book that would give me support without judgment - that might even make me chuckle occasionally.

So, I've written it for you! I've included all my stories about what that precious, exhausting first year was like for me, and I've also asked some brilliant experts for their help, too, including a paediatric sleep consultant, a trusted NCT counsellor, a mindfulness coach and no less than five amazing midwives and doulas.

I want you to feel like you've got this. Because guess what, mama? You have!

Cheerful and inspirational

Emma Bunton is an angel of positivity. Her music always makes me happy and here she shares her experience of being a mom. The narration is filled with love, and makes me smile. Her husband Jade also makes an appearance and shares his thoughts of being a father. Emma narrates most of the chapters herself, while Kristin Atherton provides research data on childbirth. This book inspires to create a family, provides helpful advice to young parents and reassures that having children is totally manageable and worthy!
