This book has a lot going for it. Clearly, many, many readers have loved and identified with it. I haven't reached the end yet, but wanted to write my review now because I'm not sure I plan to continue. I remember a few years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow was facing loads of criticism for how elite, expensive, impractical, and occasionally ridiculous the advice and items on goop were. Her response was to say hey, goop is an aspirational brand. Even I can't afford everything on our holiday wish list. Even I don't follow all of the advice on here. I'm just putting it out there for people to consider and enjoy.In many ways, I think if you view the Fourth Trimester through a similar lens, you will come away feeling more at peace with the book. However, as some others have mentioned, I purchased this book with the hopes that it would give me practical, concrete, real world ideas for how to have a healthy (physically and emotionally), balanced postpartum period that would help me recover from birth and enter the world of motherhood in the best way possible. About three quarters of the way in, I think I am going to close the book and move on to other things. I don't plan to throw it away, it will stay on my bookshelf with my other pregnancy and parenting books in case there is something specific I want to reference, but to be quite honest this book has made me more stressed and anxious than anything else.Like many readers, I am an American woman in 2019. I am not a woman in a rural Asian, African or South American community 150 years ago. The author goes on and on (and on and on and on) about the way these communities support(ed) their new mothers with nutrition, massage, and various other forms of attention, and essentially suggests that we do the same here. But many of us do not live together with our extended families in one neighborhood, and even if we did, we don't live in a culture where it is the norm to ask women to drop everything for a month to support a new mother. Without exception, all of the women I love in my life have very demanding jobs, and the last thing I want to do is to ask these women to drop their other priorities and put me first. The alternatives to essentially having a "tribe" of women take care of you are (1) to figure out how to research and hire a very specific and expensive team of service providers, including postpartum doulas, baby nurses, bodywork professionals, acupuncturists, homeopaths, and the list goes on, and then figure out how to pay for them, or (2) to try to do it all yourself, for yourself, which is essentially doing the opposite of what the book asserts to be the most important thing during the postpartum period, which is to rest and connect with your baby. While the book spends some time admonishing that you should not let your relationship suffer and provides a woo woo worksheet for you to work on with your partner, it mostly ignores the partner (not to mention any other kids or pets a person might have) completely.So now, I'm left with all of these ideas about what an "ideal" postpartum period would look like, but I have no idea how I could put anything but the absolute basics (eat well, stay warm, try to get others to help you) into practice. And to be clear, I am an upper middle class woman in a major city who has hired a doula, private lactation consultant, and other such luxuries for birth. The assertions of what you "need" in this book for the postpartum period go way beyond such things, to the point that you can only imagine an A list celebrity or royalty even having the resources to find all the resources needed.Unlike browsing on goop, where I go in with the expectation that I will simply chuckle at the $5,000 face roller made from arctic fox tears, intended to both restore my face to its 22 year-old glory and make me live forever, I went into this book hoping for real tools and real advice. Unfortunately I did not find those here. Two stars though, because perhaps someone else will :)
