I learned about so many things I didn't know like did you know if you breast feed your baby's saliva sends information to the mother's body and that can cause the breast milk to adapt to suit your baby's needs? Wild. This book covers topics about breast milk, the pelvic floor, miscarriage, the importance of care for birthing persons and support, postpartum depression, anxiety and psychosis and many other aspects of being pregnant, labor and the body after birth. And not only what the body goes through but the mind. I listened to the audiobook which took a while to like cause the narrator wasn't very engaging but the stuff I was learning about was so interesting I got used to her tone. I'd recommend reading this book just to learn all the cool bits of information. There are some incorrect medic terms used but overall it was a good read.
