Product Description: The
Pregnancy Countdown Book starts on Day 280 and counts down the
biggest milestones every step of the way with one page of helpful
information for each day of your pregnancy. Here are tips from
doctors and midwives, amusing anecdotes and quotes, and occasional
gory-but-necessary details (if you can define the word "lochia," you
know what we're talking about).
Every page offers an interesting revelation. On
Day 231, your baby will be the size of a blueberry but by Day 168,
he'll be the size of a large avocado. By Day 124, you'll need to
stop sleeping on your back; by Day 90, air travel becomes a dicey
proposition. And if you haven't planned the nursery by Day 45,
you're playing with fire.
Every expectant mother wants to provide a
safe and protective environment for her unborn baby, but
there are hidden hazards in almost everything we use or
ingest, such as arsenic in eyeshadow and hormones in
chicken. Women aged 20-45 are especially vulnerable to toxic
substances and their effects, and even more so when they are
pregnant. Yet it is often hard to choose the right products
given manufacturers’ often misleading claims and the amount
of technical knowledge required to “translate” the
components of many items. Your Non-Toxic Pregnancy
makes clear the substances found in common household, food,
and office items, and also the practices that can be
damaging to your baby and yourself. It provides a guide to
safe commercial alternatives as well as quick-and-easy
recipes to create your own natural preparations. It is your
guide to ensuring that your home, workspaace, leisure-time
activities, food, skin care, and cosmetics remain hazard-
and stress-free.
