"Motherhood is like a roller coaster … lots of ups, then downs, something chaotic… "; UK & Israeli women's experiences of motherhood 6-12 months postpartum.

Encouraging mothers to openly share their perceptions of motherhood could lead to improvements in maternal well-being and more positive interactions with the newborn.
