Pregnancy is a momentous occasion in a woman’s life. However, the elation is soon overridden by a wave of anxieties and irrational fears, and the daydreams evaporate as one strives to handle the complexities of impending motherhood. Getting informed is the first step to keep yourself and your baby healthy, for one often misses out on the dos and don’ts in the happy haze of motherhood. Written by Nutan Pandit, the expert on natural childbirth, this book is a rich resource, giving the facts and the low-down on all aspects of childbearing, answering questions on conception, labour, breastfeeding, precautions, exercises, dedication and diet that are related to the prenatal and postnatal delivery period. Information packed, readable and reassuring, the book is a helpful resource guide, covering an array of options available to expectant mothers. This book also offers invaluable information on the alternative systems of medicines for would-be-mothers. A reliable companion, this book prepares you to face the changes and challenges of the precious nine months of pregnancy and thereafter.
