The
birth of a baby is a momentous event in a woman's life.
But while motherhood brings with it an overwhelming love
for the newborn, it also causes some trepidation in the
heart of the mother-to-be: for giving birth can also be
an exhausting experience. Not if you step into this unique
adventure of creation with the help of the book "For
a Blissful Baby" by Kumuda Reddy, M.D., Linda Egenes,
M.A. and Margaret Mullins, R.N.
If
you have read other books on pregnancy, you have probably
read how to handle the physical aspects of bearing a child.
This is where this book differs from the rest. The authors
focus on all the aspects of a woman's being at this special
time: her physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and behavioral
make-up. Taking each of these into consideration, they chart
out an organized course on how to create three-fold balance
during this nine-month process: balance within the mother,
within the child and in the relationship between mother
and child.
How
can this balance be achieved? The book starts you on the
journey toward balance with a simple guideline: "Relax
and enjoy the entire process, and allow your body's natural
intelligence to effortlessly nourish you and your baby."
The way to awaken the body's innate intelligence, say the
authors, is by following the ayurvedic approach to good
health, through good diet, nourishing thoughts, and a routine
in rhythm with nature's own cycles.
These
simple strategies form a part of the immense body of knowledge
that is Maharishi Vedic Medicine. The beauty of the book
is that it presents this holistic system of healing in a
very easy-to-read manner. Nowhere is the advice abstract
or difficult to follow. Once you have read the book, you
will be surprised how well it has helped you reconnect with
your own body, mind and spirit without even letting you
feel you were reading about a 5,000-year-old system of healing.
Another
unique quality of this book: it gives a month-by-month account
of how the fetus develops in the womb--both from the ayurvedic
perspective and from the point of view of modern medicine.
This approach is used throughout the book, be it discussion
on which foods to eat and which to avoid, the role of the
father during pregnancy, how to deal with post-partum blues,
or on the importance of exercise.
In sum, "For a Blissful Baby" is one of the most
complete and comprehensive guides to happy motherhood you
will ever read.
