This beautiful book, from the bestselling authors of The First Forty Days and Awakening Fertility, provides clear, positive, nonjudgmental guidance to mothers-to-be on how to care for themselves—and not just their babies—during pregnancy.Nine Golden Months shares timeless guidance from the authors’ extraordinary circle of practitioners, guides, and wisdom-keepers specializing in prenatal care; it draws from Traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda and features rituals and female-sourced wisdom, so that it addresses all aspects of a woman’s pregnancy experience: emotional, mental, physiological, and spiritual.
There is so much noise surrounding pregnancy and birth.
There are countless books teeming with information—what test does what, the “rights” and “wrongs” of eating, and “safe” or “risky” lifestyle choices—but few that hold a woman through the experience, acting as an elder sister, a matriarch, or as a circle of women might hold her—with compassion and wisdom.
In era of high-speed living, endless demands, and more than a little anxiety and fear,
Nine Golden Months provides care and solace.
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.
