Every
expectant mother wants to provide a safe and protective
environment for her unborn baby but there are hidden
hazards in almost everything we use or ingest. It is
often hard to choose the right products given manufacturers’
often misleading claims and the amount of technical
knowledge required to “translate” the components
of many items.
Natural Pregnancy provides a guide
to safe commercial alternatives as well as quick-and-easy
recipes to create your own natural preparations. It
helps to ensure that a pregnant woman’s home,
food, skin-care products and cosmetics remain hazard-free
and that her baby is insulated from potentially harmful
substances. It enables all expectant women and their
babies to remain healthy, unstressed and in the best
possible shape for childbirth.
This accessible, easy-to-use book will help
you to:
- Choose safe commercial alternatives or make your
own chemical-free bath and body products, skin- and
hair-care preparations and cleansers
- Use natural remedies for pregnancy problems
- Exercise and relax using routines that boost your
body, mind and immune system
- Cope with the demands of pregnancy and labour
- Maintain a positive state of mind
