Motherhood and women's interests
"Becoming a mother changes your life." All mums know the truth
of that statement, but it usually doesn't sink in until a couple of
weeks after you get home from hospital. The flowers are dead, the
visitors have stopped showing up unexpectedly, your partner has
gone back to work, and you're left alone all day with a baby -- and
no how-to manual! Here are some of our favourite books on
Motherhood to inspire you, assist you, amuse you, and generally
remind you that you're not alone (even at 3am!). We've also
included some relevant titles on women's interests and wellbeing to
remind you to make sure to focus on your own needs as well. Click
