Trust Your Body, Trust Your Baby by Rosie Newman Pdf
A whistle-stop tour through the challenges of early motherhood, which challenges the conventions that dictate the experience of pregnancy, birth and parenting in Western culture. Empowering and comforting, Rosie argues for every mother's right to listen to their own instincts, and make the choices that they know are right for themselves and their families.
Why Mothers' Medication Matters by Wendy Jones Pdf
Prescribing medication for pregnant and breastfeeding women can be complex, and often there are no studies to show whether drugs are safe for childbearing women. Yet mothers and mothers-to-be often need medication: whether painkillers, mental health drugs, or drugs for chronic conditions. The lack of studies does not mean that women should be left in pain or untreated - appropriate treatments, which will not compromise a mother and baby's health or the relationship between them, are often available, but in a climate of fear of litigation, and without access to good information, prescribers do not always find the best solutions for mothers and babies. Wendy Jones tackles these problems head on, giving mothers and those treating them the information they need to make decisions about medication, while allaying fears that many have about contamination, transmitting drugs to the baby in the womb or through breast milk, and the way side-effects are described in patient information leaflets. The result is a practical, reassuring book that aims to put mothers and babies at the heart of their own care.
Trust Your Body! Trust Your Baby! by Andrea F. Henkart Pdf
Includes chapter by Dr. John Gray, author of the best-selling, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus! Over one million cesarean sections are performed each year in America. Only one-half of these invasive procedures are medically necessary. In the name of technological progress, hundreds of thousands of women have been coerced into relinquishing a most cherished right—the right to give birth in a gentle, supportive environment, free of medical interventions. Many of these women suffer needlessly because they place their trust completely in doctors who view medical intervention and cesarean sections as a birthing panacea. American culture has conditioned women to fear pregnancy and childbirth. Now, more than ever, it is important for women to learn all the facts before giving birth. For instance, how many women know that cesarean delivery carries approximately four times the risk of maternal mortality compared to vaginal delivery? Or that being able to fully trust their own instincts and knowing how to accurately interpret the messages the body sends may be more important to a healthy delivery than any medical equipment? Women deserve to know this kind of information in order to see beyond the external considerations of childbirth so they can put themselves back in touch with the simple, peaceful, natural process of bringing a child into this world. Trust Your Body! Trust Your Baby! empowers women to face the challenges, fears, and decisions involved in giving birth today. Through anecdotal experiences, facts figures, and the contributions of well-known authors in the field, this rich volume offers fresh approaches to the aggressive procedures embraced by many doctors and women of child-bearing age. The physical, psychological, and cultural implications of cesarean sections are thoroughly examined. Also explored are many time-tested techniques such as visualization, massage, and exercises that can reposition breech babies as well as other invaluable hints for avoiding unnecessary cesarean sections. Completing this unique work is a detailed discussion of associated issues such as VBAC, the husband's role in childbirth, circumcision, and the far-reaching effects natural delivery can have on the baby's entire life. Appendices provide valuable information about questions to ask your doctor, steps in forming a successful birth plan, and sources for further guidance. Through insightful education and an understanding that can only come through experience, Henkart show how every woman possesses the ability to overcome the fear and uncertainty commonly associated with birthing in the 90s. When this ability is fully realized, women can once again hold the key to making childbirth the powerful, wondrous, life experience it is meant to be.
Reclaiming Body Trust by Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC,Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD Pdf
A holistic and powerful framework for accepting and liberating our bodies, and ourselves. Have you ever felt uncomfortable or not “at home” in your body? In this book, the founders of Body Trust, licensed therapist Hilary Kinavey and registered dietician Dana Sturtevant, invite readers to break free from the status quo and reject a diet culture that has taken advantage and profited from trauma, stigma, and disembodiment, and fully reclaim and embrace their bodies. Informed by the personal body stories of the hundreds of people they have worked with, Reclaiming Body Trust delineates an intersectional, social justice−orientated path to healing in three phases: The Rupture, The Reckoning, and The Reclamation. Throughout, readers will be anchored by the authors’ innovative and revolutionary Body Trust framework to discover a pathway out of a rigid, mechanistic way of thinking about the body and into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture our bodies.

Your Baby Skin to Skin by Rachel Fitz-Desorgher Pdf
Your Baby Skin to Skin gives parents a fresh, empowering approach to parenting. It takes parents on a reassuring and practical journey through your baby's first year. You are invited to contemplate your baby from a different perspective from the usual. One which can bring calm and solace along with many "lightbulb moments" of recognition. This book has at its heart the delightful truth that your baby is a highly evolved human, pre-set instinctively to survive. You can simply step back and let your baby show you how to parent by understanding the inbuilt reflexes and instinctive cues. Instincts are not learned, need no practice and can never be wrong. After all, no-one taught us to sneeze, we can't get better at sneezing through practice and we can't sneeze "wrong"! Likewise, a newborn baby comes ready-primed to feed, sleep and learn perfectly well and cannot get these things wrong, so turn down your anxiety and learn from your little instinctive expert. Taken from conversations with thousands of parents over 30 years, Your Baby Skin to Skin speaks about the real baby before your eyes. Not some mythical creature you have yet to meet. It reflects you as a real parent and releases you from the need to wrestle with your baby's nature and instead, allow yourself to sink naturally together into parenthood. By stepping back, accepting that your baby really can't get the business of being a baby wrong, you can finally rid yourself of the need to teach your newborn the basics of life. Parenting can be about watching evolution unfold before your eyes, safe in the knowledge that there are millions of years of natural selection wrapped up in your child and you ensuring that both of you will respond to each other naturally and correctly. So, don't panic. All is as it should be. Millions of years of evolution have got us here safely and now you can relax and get to know your baby.

Lauren Stone's emotionally driven debut delves into the mind of one woman through her journey of recovery, growth, and survival. "A story that needs to be told." - Taylor Fraser, Award Winning Director of the Foreward Podcast A lot can happen in seven days, especially for someone with mental illness. Amelia is about to turn 30, but instead of celebrating, she is overpowered by her battle against anxiety and depression driven by the inner voices of her little monster- her eating disorder. But as days progress, the mundane becomes the unmanageable. She self-medicates with alcohol and sinks lower into vivid flashbacks of her and Dominic backpacking the world together. One day he went to Guatemala, the next he vanished like a ghost, leaving Amelia to remain in the depths of her eating disorder alone. That is, until she meets Emmett, her new neighbor with schizoaffective disorder she's deemed as her guardian angel from afar. Based on a true story, In Body I Trust dives into the mind of Amelia as she struggles to swim from the deepest, darkest parts of herself back to the surface, before it's too late.
Pragmatic Women and Body Politics by Margaret Lock,Patricia Alice Kaufert Pdf
This thought-provoking volume compares the responses of women in a variety of countries and cultural settings to modern medical technologies. The contributors describe how women in East Africa deal with infertility, how American women respond to pre-natal diagnostic screening, how women in China and Japan choose to make use of reproductive technologies. The essays also explore wider themes, such as the emergence of the breast cancer movement, and how women confront environmental hazards which threaten them and their families. It is often assumed that women are passive in the face of biomedical technology, but this book shows that they make pragmatic choices, with responses ranging from acceptance to rejection or indifference. The reception of biomedical technology is situated in its local cultural contexts, and vital issues of women's health are related to political and ethnic concerns.
365 affirmations and reflections drawn from the inspirational work of Louise Hay. Queen of the New Age . . . A founder of the self-help movement . . . The closest thing to a living saint . . . Louise Hay was called all this and more, and her work inspired millions worldwide, but she never set herself up as a guru with all the answers. She urged every attendee at her workshops and conferences, every reader of her dozens of books, to remember that it is you who has the power to heal your life. She was just here to guide you on the path of remembering the truth of who you are: powerful, loving, and lovable. In honor of Louise's life, you now hold in your hands this compilation of her most inspiring teachings from her greatest works. Our hope is that the 366 entries within this book allow you to carry the wisdom of Louise with you each and every day, and inspire you to trust the process of Life. As Louise said: "Very simply, I believe that what we give out, we get back; we all contribute to, and are responsible for, the events that take place in our lives--both the good and the so-called bad. We create our experiences based on the words we say and the thoughts we think. When we create peace and harmony in our minds and think positive thoughts, we will attract positive experiences and like-minded people to us. In essence, what I'm saying is that what we believe about ourselves and about Life becomes true for us."
