Wellness Books We Are Loving
During these uncertain times, we know that many Mammas do not have access to as many resources as they did before. Even though the world is on pause right now, that baby is still developing full speed ahead! We want to help you find ways to best prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally, especially during this uncertain time. We have sifted through some really wonderful pregnancy wellness books that may bring you some peace of mind. We hope that event though you are extra busy at home with your family, that you may be able to squeeze in a moment for yourself and read some of these amazing books.
The First-Time Mom’s Pregnancy Journal
Sometimes it just feels good to write things down. Becoming a mother for the first time is one of the most transformative experiences that a woman can go through. This book is filled with so many fun activities for you to jot down. It has a place for you to write down the first person you told, any weird cravings, names that you like, etc. There is even a space for free journaling, so that you can write down any feelings or funny memories. It is a fun way to savor the beautiful memories that you may otherwise forget. It is a great way to connect with your growing Babba, especially during the times when meeting your him/her seems forever away.
2. Mamaste
Written by the unbelievable doula, parenting coach, yoga instructor extraordinaire, Lori Bergman, this book talks about the five expressions of motherhood and how to navigate them. She offers meditation techniques, exercises, and mindset inspiration for Mammas everywhere. She helps to gently transition mothers into parenting and addresses the perspective of the child as well.
3. The Wellness Mamma 5-Step Lifestyle Detox
We are all about reducing toxins around here! Written by the Wellness Mama herself, Katie Wells, this amazing book helps Mammas find easy ways in which they can clean up their sleep, their skincare, their household cleaning products, their laundry detergent and many other aspects of their busy lives. It’s definitely worth a read!
4. Awake at 3am
For any Mamma going through anxiety and depression during pregnancy or during early motherhood, this book is an incredible resource. It provides breath work techniques, gentle movements and mindfulness practices that can help you gain a sense of relief. We love how it has short, easy-to-read chapters that Mammas can just pick up and read when they are in need of some extra love.
5. Growing You
We love this book, not only for it’s gorgeous cover art, but how calming it is when you open it. This journal is filled with sections that allow you to write letters to your baby, to write your birth story, and it even has a pocket for your ultrasound photos! It is a great way to cheer any Mamma up and get her excited for her precious little Babba.
