Cuando todo cambia : Comprender, cuidar y sostener en el posparto

The birth of a baby transforms life completely, but above all, it transforms the mother's body, mind, and identity. However, what happens after childbirth is rarely discussed openly. Extreme exhaustion, an emotional rollercoaster, physical changes, and the feeling of not recognizing oneself are often experienced in silence, marked by profound loneliness. Providing support during the postpartum period involves much more than good intentions. Active presence and non-judgmental listening can become a real source of support during a particularly fragile time, when the mother needs to feel seen and respected, without having to give explanations or meet others' expectations. In these pages, you will find concrete suggestions for partners and other support persons, such as family and friends, with exercises and solutions designed for the new normal that emerges after the arrival of a baby. Thanks to this journey through the different stages and dimensions of postpartum —from pregnancy and breastfeeding to organizing daily life, communication, and intimacy— you will be able to navigate this process without losing yourself in the process.
