About this listen
Your guide to the emotions of pregnancy and early motherhood, from two of America’s top reproductive psychiatrists.
With a combined 30 years of counseling new and expectant mothers, Dr. Sacks and Dr. Birndorf have seen firsthand how the pressure to be perfect, and perfectly happy, leaves women feeling confused and even ashamed of the emotions that can bubble up during pregnancy. Now, in What No One Tells You, the two psychiatrists show why it’s natural for “matrescence” - the birth of a mother - to be as stressful and transformative a period as adolescence.
From the swirl of trepidation and joy of seeing that plus sign, to the complexities of bonding with a tiny and mighty newborn human, Drs. Sacks and Birndorf provide a road map for mothers-to-be, detailing the emotions (both positive and negative) that can develop, explaining the psychological backstory as to why, and offering women a practical guide for managing the ups and downs of this exciting, exhausting time.
After years of hearing their patients say, “But how come no one told me?”, Drs. Birndorf and Sacks are ready to share their secrets with the world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Absolutely incredible
I am so glad I found this book, how amazing to have a guide through this huge life transition! I am so grateful to these women for writing a pregnancy book focused on the mother’s psychological experience, and not just the physical changes. I learned so much from this and the fact that it was written by these qualified professionals makes me trust the advice given. Please give this a listen if you are a first time mother, or any mother! I feel so blessed to be pregnant in a time where books like this exists.

Great listen for first time mom to be.
Very informative, I really enjoy learning about the thoughts and feelings that motherhood brings on. I was able to relate to some and I feel more prepared in case of trouble in the future.
It was very reassuring knowing that some of the thoughts and feeling that have come through my head are normal and that motherhood can be very different for all of us.

Good pre pregnancy read
it's a good pre pregnancy read, not everything in the book applies to you but if they do they are well covered.
