Synopsis

There couldn't be a better time for motherhood than after you've explored some of your own dreams and ambitions.

Packed full of useful tips from top medical experts, scientists and world authorities, including Dr Michel Odent and Dr Marilyn Glenville, this book is a complete guide for the woman who's lived a life before giving birth. It covers: preparing for pregnancy and motherhood; how to improve egg quality and prolong fertility so you can get pregnant naturally; exercises, relaxation techniques, mind-body connection for conception; how to increase your chances of success at IVF; making the most of your pregnancy, month by month; ways to avoid miscarriage; pregnancy yoga and natural remedies for common pregnancy ailments; how to have the best birth possible; from me to mum - adjusting to lack of sleep, relationship changes and that other job; parenting secrets and concepts from around the globe to inspire new mothers; and, the latest research in neuroscience, nutrition and psychology. Get ready to embrace the biggest, most exciting transition of your life!

This is a treasure trove of useful guidance about the wonderful options there are for a positive and life changing pregnancy at any age. Written with a twist of humour, this book will inspire and inform as much as it will amuse you. -- Janet Balaskas - Founder Active Birth The book by Claudia Spahr is perfectly adapted to our time because many sentences end with a question mark. Delayed motherhood is an unprecedented situation on the five continents. When facing new situations the priority is to phrase new questions. -- Michel Odent Very easy to read and informative. -- Dr Yehudi Gordon Claudia Spahr has written a wise, informative, and entertaining pregnancy and birth guide that is both perfect for older mothers and equally relevant if you're still in your teens or twenties.
