Have A Happy Pregnancy

A comprehensive guide not only on what to expect and when to expect it, but also to developing a confident, assertive, and empowered approach to pregnancy and life as a new parent
 
Divided into sections covering early days pre- and postconception, the pregnancy and the birth, this resource explains all the facts and outlines all the choices available to mothers, fathers, and birth partners at every stage. It also gives practical advice and reassurance on the changes that will inevitably be taking place—not only physically, but also emotionally and socially. It offers support for both mother and father, and also provides information for after the birth, including strategies for feeding and how to cope with the return to work. Topics covered include dealing with stress, safe sex during pregnancy, where to give birth, choosing who to have with you in labor, family dynamics, dealing with visitors, coping with a crying baby, post-natal wellness, and the use of alternative therapies such as aromatherapy in pregnancy and childbirth. With plenty of supporting resources and a supportive tone throughout, it will help new parents to feel positive and confident about pregnancy.
