When women give birth, the tiny beings who enter the world immediately change their lives forever. In her guidebook for new mothers, Gita Mahabir shares a humorous yet honest look at the journey of a first-time parent that not only provides valuable information about how to survive the first few months of a baby's life, but also emphasizes the blessings that a child brings.

With that in mind, she offers practical tips and tools to help new mothers successfully navigate through what can be a scary time. While offering gentle encouragement, Mahabir provides a dose of reality with advice that leads mothers through the dos and don?ts of parenthood, including handy breastfeeding tips, reminders about celebrity comparisons, and ways to survive in public when a baby is less than cooperative.

What They Don't Tell You about Having a Baby shares practical suggestions, tools, and time-tested advice for first-time mothers, providing the universal message that a new mother is never truly alone in the world.
