To Carry Wonder: A Memoir and Guide to Adventures in Pregnancy and Beyond - Hardcover

by Emese C. Parker (Author)

To Carry Wonder is a new type of pregnancy book, a two-in-one keepsake. It's a curated blend of story and evidence-based insight--a nurturing companion and guide for mamas and mamas-to-be. Keeping mothers' unique and varied needs in mind, Parker draws from her own personal and clinical experiences with pregnancy, providing practical support via candid memoirs and conversational heart-to-hearts. In each chapter, she weaves art with science and humor with reflection--preparing her readers to cultivate wholeness through pregnancy and beyond.

Through four 'trimesters, ' weekly topics cover: mental health and body image, intimacy and relationships, nutrition and activity, health care rights and providers, relaxation and sleep, labor or Cesarean birth prep, connecting with and feeding your baby, support-person tips, returning to work or school, and so much more!
