Аннотация:

In this essential guide for new mothers, one of the world’s leading herbalists provides information for each stage of a woman’s pregnancy, from conception to the immediate postpartum period. Beginning with a brief overview outlining fetal development and the changes women can expect during the 40 weeks of pregnancy, this book then details each pregnancy-related ailment — from potential miscarriage, anemia, and urinary and kidney problems to cramping, hemorrhoids, sleeplessness, and thrush and Candida — and offers suggestions for remedies from both Western and Chinese herbal traditions.
