Summary: Thank GOODNESS for this book.
Review: This is a must read for any woman who is about to give birth. The percentage of women who suffer from some sort of "baby blues" is high so this book is a great tool for the new mom, family and friends to help understand the issues that the new mom may be going through. I only wish I had this book five years ago when my first child was born. I thought something was very wrong with me...this book would have saved me!
