The First Forty Days offers profound insights into the postpartum experience, promoting nourishment and self-care against societal pressures to 'bounce back' after childbirth.
The pressure to quickly return to pre-baby bodies and identities often neglects a new mother’s need for time and support, leading to feelings of isolation.

My journey through motherhood has not just been about physical recovery; it's been about a deeper reemergence into my identity amidst life's challenges.
