For too many families, the postpartum period brings unexpected pain and devastation when depression enters the picture. The anticipated joy and pleasure of parenthood is replaced with feelings of fear, sadness, anger, confusion and resentment. When partners have the right information, they will not only gain a better understanding of the illness and its impact, they will also feel better themselves.

In The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring - specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neuro feedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies.

The first three trimesters (and the fourth - those blurry newborn days) are for the baby, but the fifth trimester is when the working mom is born. No matter what the job or how you define work, you're going to have a lot of questions. When will I go back? How should I manage that initial "I want to quit" attack? Flex time or full time? How can I achieve 50/50 at home with my partner? What's the best option for childcare? Is it possible to look like I slept for eight hours instead of three? And why is there never a convenient space to pump?

Publisher's Summary

For many women, having a baby delivers all the profound joy they anticipated and brings happiness beyond description. For women who experience depression after the birth of a baby, this joy can seem elusive. Instead, women with postpartum depression (PPD) are often gripped with feelings of deep sadness, confusion, anxiety, and despair, and they are deprived of their anticipated joy in their first precious months with their baby.

What Am I Thinking contains essential information for a woman and her family who plan on having another baby after a previous experience with postpartum depression. With this resource and available knowledge in hand, they are likely to feel more empowered, enabling them to proceed with confidence.

Good Workbook for Expectant Moms

As a midwife, I am always looking for ways to support and help mitigate the impact of peripartum mood disorders on the families I serve. This book is both realistic and reassuring, while providing prompts and activities that help women and their families develop the resources and tools they need to cope with this prenatal complication that affects 15% of families. I listened to the audible version, which might be a good option for busy parents.
