Download or read book A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health written by Dean Raffelock and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-01-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a baby can and should be one of the most joyful experiences of a woman's life. While there are hundreds of books that provide information on how to ensure the development of a healthy baby, few of them dedicate more than a few pages to the nourishment of the mother herself during this physically and emotionally demanding time. It is rarely discussed, but women commonly experience a wide variety of ailments during the postpartum period, from depression to anxiety, backache, and loss of libido. A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health is the first book by physicians that is devoted entirely to telling women how they can prevent postpartum problems and attain optimum health after the delivery of their babies. Elements of the program, which is meant to be adopted during-or, if possible, before-pregnancy, include diet, nutritional supplementation, exercise, hormone-balancing, the use of medicinal herbs, and conventional medications. Developed by the authors in clinical practice, this program has a proven track record in helping women to avoid and overcome postpartum difficulties.

I have known Dr. Speier for about 35 years and have admired her superb programs dealing with the needs of women during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. She has the expertise of not only having lived the experience of parenting herself but has created hundreds of programs for other mothers and families, and researched this period of life for her PhD, developing a deep understanding. This book has incorporated a whole new level of information made palatable, easily taken in, digested, and available to new birthing families."-Phyllis Klaus LMFT, LMSW Having a baby is a game changer.

Much care and experience has gone into this book, the true value of which will be discovered at the bedside of the birthing woman where clear, easily accessible information is essential for good homeopathic care. Well done, Betty!"--Jo Daly, R.S.Hom., C.C.H., faculty at the Pacific Academy of Homeopathic Medicine "Whenever a client of mine had difficulties during a pregnancy, or questions about her pregnancy, labor and delivery, I referred her to Betty. Now I have Betty-in-a-book, and I can hear her loving and experienced voice safely guiding us, encouraging us, and helping us to apply the wisdom of Nature and homeopathy to The Birthday.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Robison Swift knows what you're going through. She wrote this book based exclusively on her own experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, the research she did, and everything that she personally implemented to combat these unwanted feelings. These tips appear nowhere else all together! The first to admit that she threw "everything including the kitchen sink" at PPD (Postpartum Depression), Swift has written a comprehensive guide to the (often unexpected) tools she discovered along the way to help new mothers face these feelings. PPD includes not just feelings of depression, but also of anxiety, and this is addressed in this book. She strongly recommends talking to your doctor as a first line of defense (and even offers easy scripts to follow for different situations!), and provides a similar useful technique to communicating your feelings to your partner. Ever the skeptic, she also offers some tips that she readily admits aren't grounded in science or research (though some that are!) but that, for whatever reason, worked for her.With sections like Pressure Points, Crucial Nutrition, Mantras, and Essential Oils, Swift takes her readers on a fun journey through great ways of coping with these unwanted and intrusive feelings. This book proudly nurtures the connection between mind and body, and invites curious readers to be proactive in their health. There is help out there for you, and this is just one fantastic resource!

There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
