Review: A Must-Read for New Moms - Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts is an incredibly reassuring and honest book that every new mom should read. It normalizes the intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions that many mothers experience but rarely talk about. The mix of supportive advice, humor, and relatable illustrations makes it easy to digest, even when running on little sleep. I appreciate how this book encourages open conversations about postpartum mental health and provides practical tools to cope. It made me feel seen, understood, and less alone in my journey. Highly recommend for new moms and those supporting them.

I love this book. I’ve bought several copies to gift to my expecting friends.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great resource
*by A***Y on January 4, 2026*

4.5/5 stars. This is a great resource for any first time mom who may not be feeling like her baseline in postpartum. There’s some valuable information in here to normalize the maternal response following the labor experience. This is a fantastic resource for therapists supporting individuals in postpartum. It has workbook like activities. Even if you don’t like to read, this book is great because it has many illustrations and is not dry. I would have gave it five stars if it did focus on the fact that it does get better. I wish it talked more on eventually feeling better physically, mentally and emotionally.
