Helpful Score: 2


Very detailed descriptions of the feelings a mother might have with PPD. Excellent resource for a new mom and her support to give one more view of how post partum "looks" to help determine if she, herself, is having just the "baby blues" or PPD. How very brave of Brooke to expose herself and her feelings in this very public forum. For my personal tastes, I thought the book was a tad "whiney". While I understand the feelings and empathize with her experiences, however, she was so obsessed with her body "image" and spent a large portion of the book discussing it. But then again, maybe that is part of PPD.
