MOMIES

Becoming a mother deserves its own verb: mama'en. With this book, I want to help you feel strong and learn to trust yourself during a time of great change. So much is said and written about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, but I felt a book missing that focused on me as a woman about to become a mother. In this period, where emotions like wonder and euphoria, but also fear and uncertainty, alternate rapidly, it's important to be well-informed and to dare to trust your intuition. I hope this book will teach you to recognize your needs, set your boundaries, and express your wishes. And that all starts with taking good care of yourself.
Mama'en guides every expectant mother through the nine months of pregnancy, labor, and the first weeks after the birth of her baby, whether she's a first-time or repeat mother. With scientific knowledge, modern perspectives, and valuable insights from dozens of experts, as well as numerous healthy recipes, exercises, and practical tips, this book offers you a comprehensive toolkit to choose what suits you best. It serves as preparation, guidance, and a compass.

"Although we believe feminism is so important, we women in the birthing room often still place our fate in the hands of others. This book gives you all the tools to take charge and say YES to that fantastic birth experience." - Kassandra Schreuder, doula
