Book The Joy of Later Motherhood

Download or read book The Joy of Later Motherhood written by Bettina Gordon-Wayne and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever Google “pregnancy after 35” or “getting pregnant at 40” for helpful advice and inspiration on your way to motherhood? Did your excitement and hope turn into disbelief and shock when your search turned up millions of gut wrenching stories on the risks and dangers of later pregnancies and the staggering rise of age related infertility in women? The Joy of Later Motherhood is the much-needed antidote to all the negative hype surrounding motherhood at advanced maternal age (which is 35+). Written by seasoned journalist Bettina Gordon-Wayne—herself a first-time mom at 44 and the third generation of women in her family who did not get the memo that conceiving a baby after 40 is dangerous, if not outright impossible—The Joy of Later Motherhood is: Positive, honest, deeply human, and an inspiring guide to mature motherhood that will undoubtedly boost your fertility and your chances of getting pregnant; Full of real-life stories and helpful insights of more than 40 women over 40 (and top natural fertility experts) who all had natural pregnancies and healthy babies. With love and candor these women tell of heartbreak—like infertility diagnosis and miscarriage—and triumph—from healing diseases to finding their faith. They share their stories in order to empower other women to approach the topic of later motherhood from a position of strength and courage and to show them what’s possible and, in fact, natural. If you are looking for a medical book focused on only the physical aspect of pregnancy, this may not be the right one for you. The Joy of Later Motherhood is written by experts of a different kind. It’s written from the perspective of the women who actually achieved what millions of women are striving for: naturally conceiving a healthy baby after 35 and, especially, after 40. You’ll learn how to prepare for pregnancy, even if you choose in vitro fertilization or were diagnosed with unexplained infertility or were trying to get pregnant for years. You’ll get advice on how to get pregnant naturally and what natural family planning methods worked for other women. But maybe most importantly, you’ll learn that trying to get pregnant is not just a physical matter, but also a matter of the mind and maybe even your spiritual beliefs as these women attest to. The Joy of Later Motherhood is for you if the following rings true: You hear your biological clock ticking, but you don’t want to be in a panic about it like everyone else. You are afraid that your body may fail you. Or that your contradictory thoughts—“I would love to have a baby, but I don’t think I can give up my freedom!”—may influence your fertility. You feel alone and isolated because you’ve already experienced more than your fair share of heartache. You need different perspectives to help you go on. You wonder if it is fair to a child to have older parents and whether he’ll have to shoulder the burden of an ailing mother or father long before his peers. Maybe you are worried or are upset. Maybe you doubt that motherhood will ever happen for you. We get it. We’ve been there. With our stories, we want to lovingly see you through this journey as much as we can. We’ve got you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Workbook Is To Be Used as a Companion Piece with the Book, Same Sh*t. Different Date. Use this book and the exercises in it to get clarity, journal and discover some life-changing distinctions. This book is for you if you want to learn how to finally heal what's holding you back & get the love you so richly deserve.If you're going to keep getting the same old lessons, you may as well learn from them. You may have heard the old saying, "same sh*t, different day." It's kind of a darkly comic suggestion that the more things change, the more they stay the same as old, monotonous patterns repeat themselves again and again.In this book by a similar title, relationship coach and expert, Dave Elliott, makes it clear that the exact same process is also happening and creating difficulties in your dating and love life. The result is "Same Shit. Different Date." As he points out, it's not a coincidence when the same old buttons keep getting pushed by all new people. It's not "luck of the draw" when lovers turn to critics. It is not happenstance when you keep attracting the same old issues like partners who are unavailable or who cheat. While it may be cruel, it's no twist of fate either when totally different people - who seemed nice in the beginning - turn into harsh critics who shame, abuse and belittle.Even if you're married or in an exclusive relationship, this book will show you how all those random arguments that seemingly have nothing in common aren't so random after all. In fact, they're directly related and 100% predictable. Not to mention, 100% healable.Once you make this connection and recognize how it's affected you in the past, you can begin to change your future. In fact, with your new awareness - and the tools shared within - those hidden saboteurs that continue to trip you up time after time will soon come into view.The good news for you is that once you discover the invisible ties that bind your past and present upsets and heartbreaks, new possibilities are created in a moment. That's because once your secret saboteurs have been revealed, they can begin to be healed.

Students of all levels, faculty, and professionals/practitioners.—D. Papamichail, University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine Mark Lewis’ Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala was the first textbook to use Scala for introductory CS courses. Fully revised and expanded, the new edition of this popular text has been divided into two books. Introduction to Programming and Problem-Solving Using Scala is designed to be used in first semester college classrooms to teach students beginning programming with Scala. The book focuses on the key topics students need to know in an introductory course, while also highlighting the features that make Scala a great programming language to learn. The book is filled with end-of-chapter projects and exercises, and the authors have also posted a number of different supplements on the book website. Video lectures for each chapter in the book are also available on YouTube. The videos show construction of code from the ground up and this type of "live coding" is invaluable for learning to program, as it allows students into the mind of a more experienced programmer, where they can see the thought processes associated with the development of the code.
