The Fourth Trimester
DNF. Oh man. This was recced to me by an RL friend and my perception of her is . . . undergoing some changes. I knew I was in for a lot of woo when the author's introduction casually mentioned how she liked to hike naked (including no shoes?!) to be closer to nature. So I figured I'd lolz read this, and I got a respectable way into it. The thing is, she's not wrong in her largest premise, that postpartum women need more permission to rest and receive love and care. However, when we got to the visualization exercises that are supposed to help complete the birthing journey or something, and I was abjured to visualize white light pouring out of my vagina, I just lolzed right outa there.
