It is such an easy and ‘friendly’ read that you will feel like you are talking to the experienced and trusted mom next door.

Pinter & Martin Ltd. The Microbiome Effect: How your baby’s birth affects their future health
Book SynopsisAt least two amazing events happen during childbirth. There's the obvious main event, which is the emergence of a new human into the world. But then there's the non-human event that is taking place simultaneously, a crucial event that is not visible to the naked eye, an event that could determine the lifelong health of the baby. This is the seeding of the baby's microbiome, the community of ‘good’ bacteria that we carry with us throughout our lives. The seeding of the microbiome, along with other processes including breastfeeding, kickstarts the baby's immune system and helps to protect the infant from disease for its entire lifetime. However, interventions like use of synthetic oxytocin, antibiotics, C-section and formula feeding could be interfering with, or bypassing completely, the microbial transfer from the mother to baby. Emerging research shows that bacteria are absolutely vital for human health, and science has linked an imbalance in the human microbiome with multiple chronic non-transmissible diseases. Drawing on the extensive research they carried out for their documentary film Microbirth, authors Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford reveal a fascinating new view of birth, and how microscopic happenings can have lifelong consequences, both for ourselves, our children – and our species as a whole.

Pinter & Martin Ltd. Why Doulas Matter

Pinter & Martin Ltd. Why Mothering Matters
Book SynopsisPregnancy is a time of profound physical and psychological change. The transition to motherhood can be complex and difficult, and in all the discourse about pregnancy and birth the huge personal changes that women undergo can be overlooked. In the 21st century it can seem that mothers are blamed and blame themselves for everything, as they struggle to manage their multiple identities as mothers, lovers, sisters and daughters. Why Mothering Matters is a nuanced and revealing discussion of how it can feel to become a mother in modern society. It calls for better recognition of the work of motherhood, and better support for women and families as they learn what parenting looks like for them.

Pinter & Martin Ltd. Why Infant Reflux Matters
Book SynopsisMany babies are fussy and spit up milk, and in recent years it has become common for them to be diagnosed with ‘reflux’ and medicated with antacids, thickeners and acid suppressants. However, research tells us that reflux is normal in young babies and that many of the symptoms associated with it may in fact be misunderstood baby behaviours rather than clinical symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). In Why Infant Reflux Matters Carol Smyth provides a simple and practical guide to understanding reflux that will help you avoid unnecessary medication if a simple change in feeding technique or care can help reduce your baby’s symptoms. She explains what reflux is, why it happens, the difference between reflux and GORD, the role of stomach acid, and what research tells us about treatment. The book also explores the symptoms commonly attributed to reflux and looks at whether they might have other causes, and includes a plan you can work through for your individual baby to help you make informed decisions about their care.

Pinter & Martin Ltd. Dynamic Positions in Birth: A Fresh Look at How
Book SynopsisMost women give birth in hospitals, institutions modelled around the needs of the people who work there. The delivery room is designed around the obstetric bed which was designed for the benefit of the obstetrician rather than the woman giving birth. Despite research showing the benefit of upright positions in labour and birth, most women in the UK still give birth in the semi-reclined position, pushing their baby out against the forces of gravity. Jowitt argues that unnatural positions make labour and birth more painful and difficult for modern women than it was for their ancestors. How did we come to put the needs of care givers above those of the labouring woman? Is there anything that can be done? Starting with a short history of birth furniture, Dynamic Positions in Birth goes on to explore the anatomy and physiology of labour from an evolutionary perspective. This updated edition expands Jowitt's new biomechanical model of how the uterus works first published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2018 which has profound implications for giving mothers freedom of movement in labour and birth. It explores how rethinking positions for labour and birth could benefit mothers and their babies. Equally important is the need to change attitudes to birth so that women are encouraged to play a more active part in the birth of their babies instead of being subjected to clinical interventions designed to mitigate the adverse effects of labouring in a starkly unnatural environment. Jowitt argues that it is possible to give women labouring in hospital a better chance of giving birth naturally. The book concludes by calling for a fresh look at the environment for birth. Delivery rooms can be made more user friendly by introducing furniture designed around women’s need for physical support during labour as well as for the birth, and by hiding away the more alarming technology unless it is needed. Women need a less forbidding environment and more encouragement to move freely and adopt positions which will enhance their chance of achieving a normal birth.

Hay House UK Ltd Origins: How the nine months before birth shape the rest of our lives
Book SynopsisWomen who become pregnant today are bombarded with urgent messages about the food they eat, the chemicals they're exposed to, the stress they feel-and how such prenatal influences will affect their future children. When Annie Murphy Paul first encountered the intense anxiety and overwhelming responsibility that now accompany pregnancy, she was shocked, then baffled, then curious. And when she become pregnant a second time, she decided to investigate. Over the course of nine months, Paul explores how fetuses are shaped in utero, separating the evidence from the hype and filling in the historical and cultural context. As a science writer, she goes deep into the exciting new field of fetal origins, examining its claims that many of our individual characteristics-from susceptibility to disease, to appetite and metabolism, to intelligence and even personality and temperament-begin in the womb. And as a pregnant woman, she probes the cultural mania that surrounds pregnancy today, bringing to bear her own intimately observed experience. Filled with startling insights and eye-opening perspectives, Origins will change the way you think about yourself, your children, and human nature itself.Trade ReviewA new book suggests, our experiences in the womb shape us for the rest of our lives. The Sunday Telegraph Annie Murphy Paul, a gifted science writer, combines impeccable science, extraordinary tenderness and lyrical prose to produce a truly revolutionary chronicle of pregnancy. In Origins, she shows that pregnancy is not a condition to be endured but the first nine months of being a mother, a time full of far-reaching choices. Origins is sweet, smart and very fresh. You'll never think about pregnancy the same way again. Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind One of the most influential environments on Earth lies within women's bodies, the still mysterious world of the womb where all of us spend the beginning months of our lives. In her fascinating book, Annie Murphy Paul explores this strange and wonderful first home, both as a science journalist investigating the critical first steps in human development and as an expectant mother thinking about how a child grows ready for the world outside. The combination, and the lessons contained in both journeys, make Origins an irresistible - and important - way to better understand ourselves. Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York In this brilliant book, Annie Murphy Paul shows us that groundbreaking research on fetal origins is not a cause for fear or anxiety, but for wonder and even hope. Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche Annie Murphy Paul elegantly assembles the evidence to prove what mothers have felt all along-that what happens in those mysterious months before birth shapes the child that emerges in fundamental ways. Insightful, enjoyable and profound. Lisa Sanders, M.D., author of The New York Times Magazine's "Diagnosis" column and of "Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis" What goes on during pregnancy is a scientific puzzle as mysterious and fascinating as what goes on inside an atom. In Origins, Annie Murphy Paul probes the murky realm in which our futures as human beings are forged. She combines in-depth reporting on cutting-edge research with a personal memoir of her own pregnancy and the anxieties and insights it produced. The result is an important, elegant piece of science writing. Carl Zimmer, author of Soul Made Flesh The Tangled Bank: An Introduction to Evolution Exciting, cutting-edge scientific research in the field of epigenetics has changed the way the medical profession looks at pregnancy, and we are fortunate to have Annie Murphy Paul as our guide through this fascinating new terrain. With stellar insight and expansive research, Origins is a thrilling survey of how fetal origins is changing the way we think about the nine months before birth. Dr. Mehmet Oz, author of YOU: Having a Baby, YOU: Raising Your Child, and YOU: On a Diet Annie Murphy Paul's Origins delights from the first sentence onward. Engaging and fresh, it answers a host of compelling questions about what is really happening between mother and child as the outside world makes its way inside in those crucial nine months of fetal development-like why you may not want to drink from plastic bottles, and what happens when you're stressed, and what about the air we breathe. While Origins deserves a place on every expectant parent's bookshelf, it should be of deep interest to anyone who has ever spent time in a womb. Sue Halpern, author of Can't Remember What I Forgot: The Good News from the Front Lines of Memory Research and Migrations to Solitude: The Quest for Privacy in a Crowded World Origins is, quite simply, a must-read for parents-in-waiting-and for anyone interested in what makes us who we are. Paul has written a superb introduction to the emerging science of fetal origins. There are still a lot more questions than answers, but this book shows how science is -- at long last -- engaging deeply with the reality that a pregnant woman's lifestyle can dramatically impact the future life of her child. David Shenk, author of The Genius in All of Us and The Forgetting Can what we experience in the womb affect us for the rest of our lives? In a word: yes. As Annie Murphy Paul shows in this fascinating exploration of a new line of research, the fetus not only grows and develops in utero--it actively prepares for life in the world outside, reading signals the mother's body is sending about whether there will be plenty or want, hardship or happiness, and fashioning itself accordingly. The implications-for policy, for prenatal care, for parenting-are endlessly important. Liza Mundy, author of Michelle and Everything Conceivable A trek through the new frontier of 'fetal origins,' with a smart, savvy, motivated guide - Annie Murphy Paul, pregnant with her second child and driven to figure out what's going on in there. She lucidly describes what scientists are learning about the life-long impact of those first nine months, from the mother's diet to her stress level, from the BPA in plastic to the call and response of the "fetal-maternal dance." Read it with pleasure, and brace yourself for some surprises. Robin Marantz Henig, author of Pandora's Baby: How the First Test Tube Babies Sparked the Reproductive Revolution This is a terrific book on a fascinating and largely unexplored subject-the mysteries of prenatal development. It is lucid, scientifically accurate and clear and gracefully written. Combining good science and a personal perspective is rare, especially in writing about children and motherhood, but Annie Paul has accomplished it beautifully. Alison Gopnik, author of The Scientist in the Crib and The Philosophical Baby The secret to a healthy life lies in the nine months before we're born...The woman who says mums-to-be must watch what they eat, drink and even think if their baby is to have a happy life.
