A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health

Author: Dean Raffelock

Having a baby can and should be one of the most joyful experiences of a woman's life. Yet many women find themselves suffering from a variety of ailments during the postpartum period -- not just the "baby blues," but also fatigue, backaches, digestive trouble, sleep problems, allergies, anxiety, and loss of libido.

The good news is that postpartum difficulties are not inevitable. A Natural Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Health explains how most common postpartum problems actually result from nutrient depletion and hormonal imbalance, and how you can prevent or treat them with a simple program to bring your body back into its correct balance. Principal elements of the program include dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, exercise, hormone balancing, use of medicinal herbs, restoration of digestive health, and, if needed, appropriate medication. Also included are sections on the effects of breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, emotional stress, and other subjects related to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Throughout, discussions are highlighted by the real-life stories of mothers who have experienced postpartum difficulties -- and overcome them.

Developed by the authors in clinical practice, the program offered in this book has a proven track record in helping mothers provide for their own nourishment and nurturing during a physically and emotionally demanding time.
