Description
The bestselling authors of the First Forty Days encourage mothers-to-be to care for themselvesāand not just their babiesāduring pregnancy.
There is so much noise surrounding pregnancy and birth. There are countless books teeming with informationāwhat test does what, the ārightsā and āwrongsā of eating, and āsafeā or āriskyā lifestyle choicesābut few that hold a woman through the experience, acting as an elder sister, a matriarch, or a circle of women might hold herāwith compassion, non-judgment, and, most of all, wisdom. To the authors of Nine Golden Months, this is exactly whatās needed now, in an era of high-speed living, endless demands, and more than a little anxiety and fear.
A woman needs to feel connected to others, rooted in the knowledge that many have done this before her, and calmed and fortified by time-honored practices that nourish her body, soothe her mind, and hold up her spirit. The (still-growing) success of The First Forty Days showed that women are longing to experience the deeper aspects of becoming a mother. Nine Golden Months shares timeless guidance from the authorsā extraordinary circle of practitioners, guides, and wisdom-keepers specializing in prenatal care; it draws from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, and features rituals and self-sourced wisdom, so that it addresses all aspects of a womanās pregnancy experience: emotional, mental, physiological, and spiritual.
