Motherhood changes everything.

We are only just starting to understand how the changes and challenges that mothers experience from the day their baby is born stretch far into the decades beyond. So often, the physical, mental, and emotional support we need is missing when we need it most.

In this groundbreaking guide, NHS GP Dr Punam Krishan pairs her medical expertise with her own experiences as a mother of two to support you during every stage of your motherhood journey. Dr Punam gently guides you through some of the most common but often overlooked issues - from changes in libido and incontinence to postnatal depression and loneliness - and shares easy-to-implement tips and advice on how to manage the mental and physical challenges that come with being a mum, so that you can thrive both for yourself and for your family.

Whether you've just had your first child or have teenagers about to fly the nest, Dr Punam is by your side from the overwhelm of those first few months and the chaos of the toddler years, all the way to raising teens while dealing with your own fluctuating hormones during perimenopause and menopause. This guide will give you the tools you need to:

- Ground yourself amidst the chaos
- Manage changes to your body and identity
- Navigate shifting relationships
- And even advocate for yourself at the doctor's office

Through much-needed discussion of women's health, eye-opening statistics, restorative exercises, and reassuring advice, The Mother Load will empower you with real talk and realistic solutions to reclaim your health, your voice, and yourself.
