Through the Seasons of Pregnancy, Journey of Birth, and Motherbaby Moon Time
Janice Marsh-Prelesnik
Take a journey through the deeper, spiritual dimensions of pregnancy and birth. Written by a midwife and mother of four, The Roots of Natural Mothering explores the life style of natural mothering through the four seasons of creating a new being. Woven throughout are stories and wise words from experienced mothers who follow the natural mothering path.
The Roots of Natural Mothering is written in two sections. The first, Journey Through the Seasons, explores natural mothering through the seasons of pregnancy. As you read, you'll learn about trusting your intuition, the seasons of pregnancy and the journey of birth, the special time with your baby during the first few weeks after birth, choosing your birthing nest and the role of the midwife.
In the second section, Maintaining Health Through the Seasons, you'll learn how to stay healthy naturally throughout your pregnancy and during the early days after your baby is born. It includes information on nutrition and natural remedies, as well as the author's philosophy of natural health.
If you're pregnant or planning to be, The Roots of Natural Mothering will help you make decisions based on what is right for you and your baby. If you're a midwife or other birth professional, this book makes a perfect addition to your lending library.
