Publisher's Synopsis

Motherhood brings a dramatic shift that affects all areas of our lives, from our bodies to our relationships and careers. And yet even though we expect life to be upended by the arrival of a new baby, many mothers struggle to reconcile their new identity with how they were before. Enriched with discoveries from biology, psychology and social science, 'The Motherhood Complex' is a journey to the heart of what it means to become a mother. Melissa Hogenboom examines how the suite of changes we experience during pregnancy and motherhood influence our sense of self, both physically and from the wider world. From the way our brain changes during pregnancy and the psychological impact of our changing body, to the true cost of the motherhood workplace penalty and the intrusion of technology on family life, Hogenboom reveals how external events and society at large shape the way we see ourselves.
