When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on
the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples.
But instead of considering diet and lifestyle factors,
doctors pump their patients full of expensive and invasive
fertility treatments. Once pregnant, women just accept that
carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable,
sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal—and then
assume that new motherhood will be just as challenging, from
breastfeeding woes to screaming fits.
It
doesn’t have to be that way. In The Kind Mama, Alicia
Silverstone has created a comprehensive and practical guide
empowering women to take charge of their fertility,
pregnancy, and first 6 months with baby. Drawing on her own
experience, as well as that of obstetricians, midwives,
nutritionists, holistic health counselors, and others,
Silverstone offers advice on getting one’s "baby house" in
order through nutrient-rocking foods that heal and nourish,
and, once pregnant, gentle ways to boost comfort, energy,
and health during each trimester. She helps readers navigate
everything from prenatal testing and birth plans to
successful breastfeeding and creating a supportive "baby
nest." The result is an authoritative, one-stop guide that
empowers women to trust their instincts during this vital
milestone, while helping them embark on a healthy and more
vibrant path to motherhood.
