A candid feminist and personal deep dive into the science and culture of pregnancy and motherhood Like most first-time mothers Angela Garbes was filled with questions when she became pregnant. What exactly is a placenta and how does it function? How does a body go into labor? Why is breast best? Is wine totally off-limits? But as she soon discovered it's not easy to find satisfying answers. Your obstetrician will cautiously quote statistics online sources will scare you with conflicting and often inaccurate data and even the most trusted books will offer information with a heavy dose of judgment. To educate herself the food and culture writer embarked on an intensive journey of exploration diving into the scientific mysteries and cultural attitudes that surround motherhood to find answers to questions that had only previously been given in the form of advice about what women ought to do-rather than allowing them the freedom to choose the right path for themselves. In Like a Mother Garbes offers a rigorously researched and compelling look at the physiology biology and psychology of pregnancy and motherhood informed by in-depth reportage and personal experience. With the curiosity of a journalist the perspective of a feminist and the intimacy and urgency of a mother she explores the emerging science behind the pressing questions women have about everything from miscarriage to complicated labors to postpartum changes. The result is a visceral full-frontal look at what's really happening during those nine life-altering months and why women deserve access to better care support and information. Infused with humor and born out of awe appreciation and understanding of the female body and its strength Like a Mother debunks common myths and dated assumptions offering guidance and camaraderie to women navigating one of the biggest and most profound changes in their lives.
