Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「從來沒人告訴我 當了父母 生活會是這個樣子…(累癱)」

沒有人天生就知道怎麼當媽媽
媽媽要照顧好自己的情緒 才有更多心力來照顧寶寶

The reality of being a parent may be different from what you expected.

這不是一本親子書 而是著重於母親情緒調適的self-help書

自由自在的兩人世界過慣了，現在多了張粉嫩小臉蛋要照顧。大家都說孩子是天使，但照顧起來更多的時候像是小惡魔！

懷胎十月，每位女性對母親角色都有種種美好的幻想。但在寶寶實際躺在臂彎中之後，才發現那些真的只是幻想…（崩潰）。

成為母親，多了責任，生活中的每件事都在考驗著耐心、毅力、EQ、體力的極大值，和兩人世界時完全不同！在這剛當上新手媽媽的過渡期，媽媽自己的心情該如何調適？花全部心力去拉拔寶寶的同時，妳有沒有也好好照顧自己，特別是心理層面？

所謂「母性是與生俱來的天賦」，這句話並不適用於每一位女性！成為母親，是學習、挫折、調適與經驗的累積！澳洲醫學博士，幫許多為了產前產後憂鬱症困擾的媽媽們諮商，擁有豐富的親職諮詢經驗的Melanie Strang，她本身也是兩個孩子的媽媽，以同理心看待新手媽媽面對的種種「現實」：挫折、恐懼憂慮與自我懷疑，以此書陪妳熬過從「個體」轉渡到「母親」的心態調適與轉變。
