As a highly experienced community midwife and teacher, Bridget
Sheeran knows that pregnancy should be a time for vital physical
and mental preparation. The body and mind do much of this
automatically but there are many ways to support this process, and
to resist the day-to-day stresses that can hinder it. Through
detailed images for colouring-in, Bridget invites pregnant women to
allow their natural curiosity to rise up and lead them to discover
how they can help themselves through the process of birth. As women
relate to their interpretation of the illustrations, this book can
powerfully: Allow them in their own time to focus on their needs in
pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother; Motivate them to prepare
for birth and the responsibility of caring for a newborn; Enable
personal well-being through relieving stress via the 'right brain'
activity of colouring-in; Motivate women to evaluate their personal
resources and find the support structures they will need to do the
most important job in the world: give birth and nurture their baby.
