PREGNANCY (HINDI)

Pregnancy is one of the most
important phases in a woman’s life where she needs to take care of not only
herself but also the budding life within her. Nutan Pandit’s ‘Pregnancy’ aims
to educate expecting and new mothers about the entire process of pregnancy
and tries to uproot certain existing myths and fears associated with it.   To explain the whole pregnancy period and
process in simple terms, the book has been divided into 17 chapters that
include different types of FAQs which are mostly dismissed by women as being
silly. These questions cover a wide area starting from common misbelieves
during pregnancy, which the author debunks, questions about breast-feeding,
nutrition during and after pregnancy, labour, exercises and breathing during
pregnancy, common problems during pregnancy, and even how to balance life
properly post-pregnancy.   The book
also furnishes certain quick homemade remedies for all these and even for
providing proper care to the newborn in post and neonatal conditions. Written
in simple words, this book elaborates on every portion adequately, making it
easier for the new and expecting mothers to take proper care of themselves
and, thus, their children.   Written in
Hindi with the aim of reaching out to more women, this book has been
published by Rupa and Co., and is available in paperback.   About the author:   A New-Delhi based writer, Nutan Lakhanpal
Pandit is a childbirth therapist who conducts pre-natal care and childbirth
classes for couples who are expecting a child. She is a sociology graduate
from Mumbai University and has a diploma in Journalism. She was moved to
taking natural childbirth classes in the late 70’s when she had a
faith-altering experience during a breathing exercise and realised that so
called ‘unconventional methods’ are actually very apt for the Indian
scenario.
