Not the most positive perspective
The book is kind, supportive and honest and offers some useful practical advice. I bet it’s a great relief to struggling mums, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs reassurance they are doing great paired with some science-backed ways out (not always though, sometimes the book just says essentially “it happens, I know and I’m sorry you’re facing it”). However, I would avoid listening to it while pregnant with your first baby, as the book focuses on problems and potentially traumatic experiences quite heavily. It paints a rather grim picture of motherhood as an uphill battle of suffering and despair, which I hope is not all that bad after all. On the bright side, it sets your expectations really low, so it is unlikely that a real experience of motherhood, ever if it horrible, disappoints or shocks you.
