how you can prepare your body for birth;
how you can organize yourself and your household for the best possible transition to motherhood;
simple practices and home remedies to facilitate healing and restore energy;
how to strengthen relationships and aid the return to sex;
learning to exercise safely postpartum;
carrying your baby with comfort;
exploring the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise postpartum;
and much more.
