"An absorbing, contemporary, and resourceful guide to childbirth and motherhood. This audiobook is a must-have guide for new mothers." - Readers Favorite

Featuring interviews with hundreds of moms and candid stories from author Claudine Wolk’s own experiences as a mother, It Gets Easier! . . . and Other Lies We Tell New Mothers employs a healthy mix of humor, honesty, and insider strategies to give new and expecting moms a “leg up” on the challenging task of first-time motherhood.

This fun, frank, and prescriptive guide strives to make motherhood easier by addressing issues such as:

• “The Talk” you need to have with your husband before you give birth, • What you really need to know about labor and delivery, • The importance of a baby schedule (no matter what anyone else says), • The 6 Baby Commandments that can foster good eating and sleeping habits, • The five new mom mantras that will help keep you sane, • Body image after giving birth, • And how to keep housework to a minimum.

This funny, irreverent book will help ease every new mothers’ frustrations by reminding them that they are not alone and providing tangible, easy-to-follow tips for parenting success.

Resources for further exploration and a glossary are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
