I just found out I'm pregnant and I want to read up as much as possible to be prepared. Can anyone recommend some good pregnancy books that were helpful for them? I'm looking for practical advice and information.
Don't waste time on too many fancy western books because our Indian lifestyle and diet are totally different. Just read 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' for basic medical phases, and follow your gynac's advice. Keep it simple.
Having PCOS made me very anxious about every small step, so I read positive pregnancy books to keep my mind calm. I avoided books with too many medical complication details because it used to trigger my anxiety. Focus on positive reading.
Honestly, my MIL said the best book to read is Ramayana or any spiritual book to keep the house environment peaceful. But I also read some basic baby care guides online. Traditional wisdom along with modern tips is the best combo.
When I first got pregnant, I felt so clueless and overwhelmed by all the changes. Reading 'Ayurvedic Garbha Sanskar' helped me feel grounded and peaceful. It really connected me to my roots during those emotional nine months.
I am also trying to conceive and was looking for good recommendations! Someone suggested 'Ina May's Guide to Childbirth' to understand natural birth. Let me know if you find any good Indian author books!
You should definitely check out 'Garbh Sanskar' books! They have such beautiful thoughts and positive mantras for the baby 🌸. It made me feel so connected to my little one daily!
