This book about pregnancy, childbirth and life with a baby after it covers many questions, the answers to which you will not find in most books and will not be obtained from a antenatal clinic doctor or a teacher of childbirth preparation courses. This book is not only about the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth, about competent preparation for them and organizing the process, but also about what most often remains “behind the scenes” - about the feelings, fears, anxieties and joys of future parents, and how all this affects a woman’s well-being and the course of pregnancy. The author of the book, Maryana Oleinik, is a psychologist, mother of four sons, author of many articles in maternal magazines and a famous blogger okean-v-butylke, as well as a doula (a woman who provides emotional, informational and household assistance on the path to motherhood), - deeply and carefully touches on the most important issues that concern future parents, and helps to make the unique period of waiting and the birth of a baby the best time in life.
