Pregnancy Books
Well, there is virtually no limit for you may find many books about motherhood. Pregnancy Books is that one industry that will remain an all-time winner. But most modern mothers tend to overdo it with their carrying a baby or caring for it. It's not something to blame and it is perfectly understandable, because you normally wish for a healthy baby and, if possible, a perfect baby, don't you? You are stressed out of your wits at the thought that it depends so much on you, and for you, it is important what you eat, drink, think, feel or dream, isn't it?
Pregnancy Books, a Rollercoaster
Go to the baby book shelf in the library downtown, or start surfing the net, and your head will immediately start spinning when you're facing the thousands titles at display that are winning the game with fertility, natural or unnatural spacing of the child, nutrition books, exercises books, psychological lines, diaries, journals and guides boasting themselves as the mother or the godfather of all baby books! What to choose? Should you buy them all? Crazy, right? You tend to stop at the titles clever enough to have a hook for you, the intriguing titles such as "hypnobirthing" or "inconsolable" or some world known name to be reliable such as what the Mayo clinic specialists' say on the whole affair. It will be the book to serve you for what you're feeling at the moment or for what you already know it will probably happen.
Small Library of Pregnancy Books
One of the two best friends I've got, the blue-eyed one, has become a mother. I was close to her so I had a chance to closely witness the baby book adventure. She went mad! She's a perfectionist in her life, so it had to be so with her first motherhood trial. She's pretty well-off financially so she could literally buy an entire library. She has got more than a hundred books on merely anything, I suppose. I tried to pull the breaks, but her answer was "I cannot bear the thought there was something better I could have done for my baby and only my negligence prevented me from doing it!" Reading on the web was not good enough for her; she needed to sit comfortably in a rocking chair of cherry-tree arms that her husband bought for her. She needed to skim through the book, and have it at hand just in case. She bought books for each week of pregnancy, to read about what exactly goes on with the baby, what part of its body is in development at that stage; and then, what is there for her or the father to do to perfect it…to eat, to drink, to sing or read, to feel or help from feeling were her daily verbs.
Balance
It was a terrific experience to witness the birth of my best friend's first baby. All those books made me seriously wonder whether you may not get the opposite of perfect as a result of so much literature and stress. Can't you lose your head and start some bizarre action? I say this to all mothers- keep it cool, keep your common sense, do not exaggerate on the baby literature and take it all for granted. Give some credit to Mother Nature, as it is the mother of all pregnancy books!
