Hi joyous readers,
If you’re pregnant, congratulations!!! Such an exciting time. 
Due to popular request, I’ve posted a video on some resources that I really valued before getting pregnant and now that I’m a mama-to-be I’m enjoying them even more. These books helped me feel really well informed about having a natural pregnancy and that I have a lot of choices in how I want my pregnancy and birthing experience to go, along with my hubs Walker of course. I think many women simply do not realize how many choices they do in fact have.
Of course it’s important to listen to the advice we are given to by medical experts, but one thing I’ve noticed is that in pregnancy sometimes we forget that we are in charge and responsible for our bodies. We somehow forget to trust that innate wisdom that is always there if we wish to tune in and listen. If we are given advice that doesn’t sit well with us, it’s in our right to ask questions, to probe and to do more research instead of accepting what we’ve been told.
Before I share this video, I want to share an important truth I’ve come to realize as a mama-to-be…
We are more than just a vessel in which this beautiful human being is developing. We are so incredibly intimately connected to this experience, if we choose to be. Every thought and experience you have, your baby also experiences — while your baby is in your womb, you are one!
Be sure to send loving, nuturing, positive thoughts to your sweet baby every single day — she/he is listening! Those feel good hormones will make her soul smile. Check out Bruce Lipton’s work, if what I’m talking about sounds very new to you. The Biology of Belief is a wonderful book. We are our thoughts, we create our destiny and the happiness of our existence.
Now on to my video…In this video I share three books and one magazine that I subscribe to. I will post all the links below after the video.
Here are the four resources I mention in my video:
Sprout Right: By fellow Canadian Holistic Nutritionista Lianne Phillipson-Webb
Optimum Nutrition Before, During and After Pregnancy: By Patrick Holford, natural health expert
The Natural Pregnancy Book: By Aviva Romm, natural pregnancy expert, midwife and medical doctor.
