Book Description

Once in a great while a book comes along that impacts the lives of families forever. You will never view pregnancy and motherhood the same way again.

Has anyone ever told you that you can get to know your baby and bond with her before she is even born?

Are you looking for ways to address the physical challenges in pregnancy that don’t require prescriptions?

Are you aware that starting in pregnancy you can help your baby develop positive relationships with the important people in your life?

Do you know that your baby’s personality is shaped by your emotions, stress levels, and environment during pregnancy?

Finally, here is a book written by real pregnancy experts that provides keys to unlocking the secrets of having the greatest pregnancy ever! Offering insights and tips for addressing fears and anxieties, managing stress, and increasing comfort during pregnancy, this book offers way of life that will transform you, your baby, and ultimately the world you live in. This book offers real-life solutions to the emotional and physical issues pregnant women face.
The Greatest Pregnancy Ever shares little known facts that can change the entire experience of pregnancy and parenting for families. For example:

• Unmanaged stress in pregnancy can lead to a baby who cries more, sleeps less, and is anxious.
• A mother’s thoughts and feelings create chemical signals that literally form her baby’s brain and develop into emotional intelligence.
• Only during pregnancy and the first few years of a child’s life can parents truly influence who their child will become, both emotionally and physically.

All moms want to do whatever they can to positively impact the development of their child. They want to have the greatest pregnancy ever, and luckily it is possible with the information and practices in this book.

The book is organized into four parts:
B.O.N.D. - Keys to Bonding
• B-Be-ing
• O-Observing
• N-Nourishing
• D-Deciding

The keys relate to the concept of being able to B.O.N.D. This connection is imperative to the baby, the mother, and the partner for overall health and wellness. Many parents find with their busy, overscheduled, and stressful lives that seeking connection is just one more item on their to-do list. The Greatest Pregnancy Ever solves this dilemma by providing very simple tools, techniques, and tips for parents to use. They not only make connection possible, but ease stress and improve parents’ daily lives and their relationships. Start today by embracing motherhood in an entirely new way—start by having the greatest pregnancy ever!


Editorial Reviews

Review

The Greatest Pregnancy Ever is a treasure. It should be the very first thing a pregnant woman reads in fact, every woman who intends to have a baby will be thrilled with the empowering message here. ~Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers: Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause. --Christiane Northrup, MD

What today's families need is the opportunity to connect within, which results in deeper intimacy. This quote from Laurel and Tracy's new book, The Greatest Pregnancy Ever: New keys to the Mother-Baby Bond sums up what family therapy researchers have known for decades: Family processes that promote connection over disconnection are key to healthy growth and development of children and parents alike, throughout the family life cycle. The portal to accessing the inner knowledge present in every pregnant woman is focusing through the heart-to-heart connection with her baby. This book helps to bring alive awareness as a woman works with nature to bring forth life. The Greatest Pregnancy Ever presents a foundation for motherhood. -Gayle Peterson, LCSW, PhD Author, An Easier Childbirth, Birthing Normally and Making Healthy Families . --Gayle Peterson

Finally there is a pregnancy book that focuses of the very important MotherBaby bond that exists before and after the pregnancy! The Greatest Pregnancy Ever: Keys to the MotherBaby Bond by Laurel Wilson & Tracy Peters meets the need of parents by providing in their book what is needed to understand about the motherbaby bond and how it forms the dynamic of the family. At no other time in their child s life do parents influence who that child will be, both emotionally and physically, than during pregnancy and the first years of a child s life. Cutting-edge research is discovering that the experience in the womb and the early moments of birth and early infancy are the most formative moments our lives. Wilson & Peters blend today's recent scientific findings with mind/body/spirit wisdom. Their exciting new book offers insights and tips on making pregnant women comfortable during pregnancy, addressing their fears and anxieties, tips on managing stress in their lives, and creating a way of life that will transform the women and their babies. Each section of the book gives a concise explanation of the best way to navigate the content outlined in each chapter and explains how the reader can best use the content. The keys that the title refers to relate to the concept of being able to B.O.N.D. This bonding connection is imperative to baby, mother, and her partner for the overall health and wellness of their family. The format of the book is innovative and is organized in the following segments: B.O.N.D. - Keys to Bonding B-Be-ing, Conception, The Beginnings O-Observing, The First Trimester N-Nourishing, The Second Trimester D-Deciding, the Third Trimester I wholeheartedly believe childbirth educators, nurses, midwives and doulas will benefit by sharing the knowledge in The Greatest Pregnancy Ever: Keys to the MotherBaby Bond with all of their patients and clients. Paulina (Polly) Perez, RN,BSN, FACCE, LCCE, CD Author of Special Women, The Nurturing Touch at Birth, & Doula Programs --Paulina Perez --Polly Perez

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for mom's to be and their support teams February 23, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is the book I needed when I was pregnant. It is clear and concise and answers many questions not touched on in books on pregnancy. Questions for the expectant mother to ask herself and others in her birth arena are suggested within these pages. I like how it is separated into sections for easy reference. Anyone working with mothers will find new and innovative ideas within these pages. Every new mother and family should have this book on the bedside table.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book for expecting moms! February 10, 2013
By Fred
Format:Kindle Edition
I really enjoyed this book. I read during my first pregnancy and found it to be different than many of the other pregnancy books I read. This one is more about bonding and doing things that will help you make your pregnancy a more holistic experience. At the same time, I didn't feel it was too preachy or condescending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensing the power of the mother baby bond January 26, 2013
Format:Paperback
The Greatest Pregnancy Ever is a very important book which teaches parents awareness of the intelligence of babies in the womb. Our babies hear, feel, and sense what is happening in the womb and outside the womb. Studies have shown that when a mother bonds with her baby in the womb outcomes are better birthing experiences and less pregnancy complications. Prenatal and Perinatal psychology has been studying this concept for 30 years and it is now supported by neuroscience and ultrasound. An excellent book for preconception through pregnancy. This should be in any pregnant mother's hand and even before conception.
