| Book Description | An empowering, unbiased guide and essential toolkit for pregnancy, labour, birth, breastfeeding and your baby’s first year by GP and TV presenter, Dr Sara Kayat.“No amount of time spent on YouTube watching births, episodes of Motherland, or antenatal classes will brace you for the enormity of what that extra line on the pregnancy test means for your life. My aim in writing this book is that by sharing my own honest experiences, with a hefty medical slant, you will hopefully feel more confident of the bits you can control, have a better understanding of the science behind all the variables so you can make more informed decisions, get a few practical tips, have a laugh and ultimately realise that even doctors are as scared as you are. We are all in this together, holding each other's clammy, anxious hands!” In a world where our instinct is to turn to the internet for answers, which can often simply lead to confusion, anxiety, and conflict, Sara’s book delivers everything you need and want to know about growing and raising a baby. The chapters cover everything from pre-pregnancy nutrition and early pregnancy symptoms and FAQs, to how and when to tell family and friends, what all the medical jargon at your scans really means, when to worry and when not to worry, what to expect, what is normal, and when to seek further help; moving onto your birth options, how to advocate for yourself and how to recover from birth, both physically and mentally, and so much more – Sara has it all covered!Dr Sara’s book will be a crucial resource for mothers during pregnancy, labour, birth, and the first year of their newborn’s life. With an unbiassed medical-based foundation, and personal experiences, triumphs and tribulations throughout, it will make every parent feel less alone and more empowered. |
