I received a copy of this book after my first emergency c-section, and it helped me so much. I was mourning the fact that I had to have a c-section, and it was helpful to know how to help my body heal - and even what just happened to me during the c-section (since I never paid attention to that in birthing class, since I just knew I wasn't going to have to have one). Fabulous information, laid out in a time-line manner, so you know what to do the first days, weeks, and months after your c-section.
The parts of this book that I read were helpful and informative, I just did not get into it that much. I guess I had no time with a newborn.
