In a May 2024 Pew poll, more than two-thirds of Americans indicated they thought that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is good and should be accessible to anyone who wants it. Even among social conservatives—including the current U.S. administration—there is a push for wider accessibility for artificial procreation options. But is IVF truly the gift for infertile couples that it’s perceived to be?

Too many women put up with pelvic floor discomfort, thinking their symptoms are “just part of motherhood and aging.” And for far too long, the American health care system has normalized pelvic problems, leaving women feeling hopeless, ashamed and suffering in silence.

Is it supposed to be this hard? It's a question all new mothers ask. The moment after birthing your baby, you enter postpartum. It's the blurriest of transitions – there's joy and awe but also intense physical recovery, fluctuating hormones, a brain that can't find the right words, and so much to learn. It's beautiful and it's hard. The Complete Guide to Postpartum is your comforting and enlightening companion to navigating this entirely new life, from the earliest moments post-birth to many years later.

Pregnancy! Just saying the word conjures up images of glowing skin, fluttering kicks, baby showers, and that unmistakable moment of awe when you hear your baby’s heartbeat for the first time. It’s one of the most profound experiences in life – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But along with the beauty and anticipation of growing a new life comes something else entirely: an avalanche of opinions, warnings, dos and don’ts, and well-meaning (but often questionable) advice.

Pregnancy is an amazing journey—a unique blend of wonder, anticipation, and transformation. It’s a time when your body takes on an extraordinary task: creating and nurturing new life. From the moment that second line appears on the pregnancy test, everything changes. Your mind starts racing with questions, your body begins its slow and subtle (or sometimes not-so-subtle) changes, and your heart expands in ways you never imagined. One of the first realizations many expectant parents face is just how much is going on beneath the surface. Every system in your body starts working overtime.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and your baby’s first months are some of the most cherished parts of parenthood―but they can also be nerve-racking, especially for new parents.

For many, the idea of a “natural birth”—childbirth without the assistance of pain-relieving medications such as an epidural—feels not just appealing, but ideal. It speaks to something primal, something rooted in ancient wisdom and modern-day empowerment.
