About this column
Have you ever noticed how most pregnancy books and guides switch gears after week 40 and suddenly become all about the baby? And feeding the baby and caring for the baby and BABY BABY BABY? What about mom? What about you? What about me?
Bounce Back is about the postpartum experience -- the good, the bad and the gory. We'll cover everything that happens to your body, mind and circadian rhythms after you have a baby, and (hopefully) help you make sense of the New Normal. Regular updates will be published on Tuesdays. Got a question or a topic you'd like to see covered? Let us know.
The column is well-researched but not written by a health care professional. Consider it your internet BFF postpartum guide. See our legal disclaimer below.
