Ruth E. Macy & Courtney Naliboff
Ruth E. Macy and Courtney Naliboff are the co-authors of Your Postpartum Body, the first book for people of all gender identities and childbirth experiences to fully address the phisical experience AFTER pregnancy. Both are passionate about education, inclusion, and allyship. They saw that the physical changes and challenges people face postpartum were not being discussed and people were often left on their own to just figure it all out. They also recognized that people who are not parents postpartum or who suffered loss during or post pregnancy are often left out of the conversation. So, they wrote this book to include not only allgender identity experiences, but also the wide variety of pregnancy experiences, to create a book that is helpful, informative, and inclusive.
