Anxiety can take over at any time, which is why we recommend reading Anna Mathur’s Mind Over Mother during pregnancy. This book is aimed at helping mothers get a better understanding of mental health during pregnancy, before meeting their new bundle of joy. stars - I loved this in the beginning of pregnancy when I wanted to read about what was happening with the tiny little being inside me every single day, but once I got far enough along that I could feel him move and know more about what was going on in there I was less interested. Since there's something to read every single day, it does repeat info as well. I mean, that's a lot of days to fill, so I get it.

Key concept : A guide to support any woman, whether in the first or third trimester, helping to bring the science of pregnancy to real life. Louise covers complex subjects such as the nervous system during pregnancy, the journey a baby takes when passing through the birth canal and anatomical facts on breastfeeding. Some parents-to-be enjoy having a month-by-month rundown of what’s happening to their body and baby, and that’s just what you get in this book. We love it for its detailed index, which makes it effortless to browse through and find specific sections when you need them. It also has a week-by-week guide on the baby’s development, all written in a conversational tone that makes it feel as though you’re having a chat with your best friend. Key concept : Conversations and examples around mental health, anxiety, effects of anxiety and mindfulness techniques during pregnancy. The chapters at the end of the book are very thorough ones about birth itself including pain relief options and detailed descriptions (and images!) of the different stages of birth. There’s also information about different types of assisted deliveries, inductions, multiple births and Cesarean sections. Then there’s information about what happens straight after your baby is born and the first 12 hours after. It’s so important to know as much as possible about labour and giving birth. It can really help you make informed decisions and I also believe that it will help prepare you mentally for the pain and the whole process. The book is written by Dr Maggie Blott who is a Consultant Obstetrician at University College Hospital, London. She jointly manages a multi-disciplinary high-risk antenatal clinic and runs the labour ward. She’s also a spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London, a regular columnist for Top Sante magazine and she regularly writes for a number of other pregnancy-related publications. She’s definitely an expert in the field!Preparing to become a mother, or a mum-of-more, is never easy. In this helpful book, Mathur hones in on her own personal experiences and covers definitions of anxiety, examples of intrusive thoughts, and preparing for the whirlwind of emotions that comes with parenting, as well as how to deal with them. The author, a psychotherapist and a mother herself, immediately draws you in with her knowledge in this relatable must-read.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book as a really nice gift to anyone going through pregnancy as it's very approachable. It's the only pregnancy book I read, as the last thing I wanted to do was slog through "What to Expect" or any of those more in-depth books, as a Google search could generally answer all my questions. Then again, I'm past my due date and I've never once called my midwife so maybe I'm just too casual about the whole thing. "No blood, no problem" is my pregnancy motto. :) After the introduction, the book starts with a chapter about having a healthy pregnancy. This covers your pregnancy diet with lots of great advice, information about exercise in pregnancy, relationships, illnesses, medications, lifestyle hazards, travel and how your skin, hair and nails can change during pregnancy.With day-by-day artworks and fetal images showcasing your baby's development, this comprehensive pregnancy book is perfect for both first-time mums and experienced parents alike.

Its size. There are a ludicrous number of pictures that are mostly unnecessary (I don't need a daily foetus development photo - you can imagine how little variance there is from photo to photo at that frequency) with the end result that the book is so large that it's too heavy to lift to read for any duration, but even in the first trimester was way too uncomfortable to have it resting against my abdomen whilst reading, so I had to prop it awkwardly on cushions balanced in my lap any time I wanted to read it.
