guidance on all the options and issues that matter most to them and their partners when preparing for a babyUn espace entre les mains: récit
Par Émilie Choquet. 2020
Frondeuse et brillante, une jeune femme se prépare à ajouter un élément à la liste de ses réalisations : avoir…
un enfant. Tout au long de la grossesse, la maternité a fait lobjet d'une préparation minutieuse. Les projets ne manquent pas pour remplir de moments magiques le temps avec le bébé. Mais dès l'accouchement, où le scénario prévu ne se réalise pas, le savoir accumulé pendant des mois se retourne contre la mère. Le corps et lesprit, apprend-elle, n'agissent pas toujours de concert. De retour à la maison, la nouvelle mère fait face à la fatigue qui s'accumule et à des journées où s'enchaînent séances d'allaitement, bercements, changements de couche. Malgré ses efforts pour éviter que la situation ne lui échappe, des failles apparaissent partout. Dans l'espace qui se creuse entre sa perception du monde et le réel, sa raison s'égare peu à peu. L'hospitalisation devient nécessaire. On ne sait ni quand ni comment elle parviendra à sortir de la boucle temporelle dont elle est prisonnière. Ce sera à elle de trouver à tâtons la voie hors du labyrintheStill: A memoir of love, loss, and motherhood
Par Emma Hansen. 2020
A moving, candid account of one woman's experience with stillbirth. Emma Hansen is 39 weeks and six days pregnant when…
she feels her baby go quiet inside of her. At the hospital, her worst fears are confirmed: doctors explain that her baby has died, and she will need to deliver him, still. Hansen gives birth to her son, Reid, amidst an avalanche of grief. Nine days later, she publishes a candid essay on her website sharing photos from the delivery room. Much to her surprise, her essay goes viral, sparking positive reactions around the world. Still shares what comes next: a struggle with grief and confusion alongside a desire to better understand stillbirth, which is experienced by more than two million women annually, but rarely talked about in public. At once honest, brave, and uplifting, Still is about one woman's search for her own definition of motherhood, even as she faces one of life's greatest challenges: learning to live after lossThe new rules of pregnancy: what to eat, do, think about, and let go of while your body is making
Par Danielle Claro, Adrienne L. Simone, Jaqueline Worth. 2020
Finally, a calming pregnancy book that cuts through the noise to tell expectant mothers exactly what they need to know-and…
what they can stop obsessing about and over-researching. In The New Rules of Pregnancy, two leading OB-GYNs guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby's development, it's all about you and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy listener (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, "Just tell me what to do!"). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered-from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues ("What makes it postpartum depression?"). The book also covers that critical "fourth trimester"-"Nursing" and "How to Feel Like Yourself Again"-because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth-two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book's voice-motivating, supportive, real-comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health RulesShadows of the workhouse
