GROW YOUR BABY NOT YOUR WEIGHT (PB)

 You’re pregnant? That’s lovely! But
perfectly pregnant… isn’t that a wonderful possibility? For far too long,
Indian women have been conditioned to believe that pregnancy and motherhood
mark the end of their independent lives. Being a mother once meant bidding
adieu to your fitness, beauty, career and individuality. But not anymore. In
her debut memoir, celebrated officer of the Indian Administrative Service and
the mother of two feisty little princesses, Durga Shakti Nagpal provides you
with a detailed blueprint for a perfect pregnancy. She will ensure that the
initiation of your life as a mother will be carried out with the focus and
precision of a drill sergeant, while maintaining the relatability of the
regular Indian mother-to-be. Durga Shakti will take you through a major life
glow-up in those special nine months of your life, transforming you into the
strongest, most accomplished version of yourself. From pregnancy friendly
fitness and skincare, to healthy eating habits, meditation and skyrocketing
your energy levels, she has it all covered. And not just that, Durga Shakti
addresses several life issues that invariably accompany motherhood, but which
are seldom addressed. Subjects like post-partum blues, pregnancy-related
myths and beliefs, the role of an older child and the family’s active
involvement during and after pregnancy are all beautifully dealt with. A
highly accomplished bureaucrat by profession, and a mother and family woman
by choice, Durga Shakti will help you find you the keys to striking a perfect
balance between motherhood and life as a whole. This is every woman’s guide
to carving out an extraordinary motherhood for herself, her child and her
family.
