Description
For anyone preparing to have a child, this practical and inspirational guide is essential reading for a trouble-free pregnancy, a postive birth experience and a healthy baby. Deborah Cooper, acclaimed and accredited family naturopath, nutritionist and massage therapist, public speaker and author of Women's Health in Women's Hands understands that pregnancy and childbirth are two of the most important times in a woman's life. She has written her exhaustive birth book to answer the hundreds of questions mothers-to-be have about their developing pregnancy, how to best care for themselves and their growing child, childbirth and postnatal care. For more than a decade Deborah Cooper has provided active, shared care and support for women through their pregnancies, births and beyond. As a guide, supporter and health worker Deborah understands only too well that each birth is as unique as the children themselves. Your Baby, Your Way is the culmination of Deborah's exhaustive natural pregnancy and birthing skills, information and strategies to help accomplish a trouble-free pregnancy, a positive birth experience and a healthy baby with an emphasis on health care choice and a natural, active experience. Your Baby, Your Way is no ordinary pregnancy and birth book. Jam-packed with detailed information from conception through to each stage of pregnancy and the child's growth, and preparing for childbirth through to labour, Deborah Cooper also provides other health care information that other authors haven't. Because Deborah combines her professional health care knowledge, her extensive experience in pregancy and childbirth and counselling/support skills, Your Baby, Your Way also details information for single parent, older parent and multiple pregnancies; antenatal diagnosis tests, clothes, exercise and healthcare for the pregnant woman, strengthening exercises, visualisation and breathing techniques, deciding how and where to give birth, support teams, risk management and emotional preparation, overdue babies, special babies, breastfeeding, postnatal depression, homeopathic remedies for each stage ... the list goes on and on! Your Baby,Your Way is also full of diagrams, and beautiful black and white photographs to celebrate the pregnant body. Throughout the book are also the personal birth stories of four real women to really inspire. Your Baby, Your Way is an essential guide to pregnancy and birth, providing naturopathic and traditional information with an emphasis on natural, active care and homeopathy.
