Book Description
“Every pink line is a brushstroke of hope and every feeling is a testament to the extraordinary journey of pregnancy and parenthood.” In the soft, pastel light of dawn, as the world stirs awake, there's a secret that I held close to my heart—a secret that would soon fill my days with wonder and my nights with dreams of a brighter tomorrow. The pregnancy test sat on the bathroom counter, its result a radiant symbol of the love and joy blossoming within me. "Expecting Secrets" is not just a story—it's a tapestry of emotions, a journey into the heart, and an exploration of the sacred secrets we carry within when we welcome new life. It's about the beauty of anticipation, the magic of creation, and the depths of love that only parenthood can reveal. In the pages that follow, I invite you to join me on an emotional odyssey, where each chapter is a stroke on the canvas of my heart. We'll celebrate the laughter, share the tears, and savour the quiet moments of reflection. We'll unlock the secrets of joy, courage, and resilience that come with the territory. As we embark on this journey together, we'll also shine a light on a vital aspect of pregnancy and parenthood: mental health. We'll explore the power of self-care, the significance of seeking support, and the beauty of embracing the full spectrum of emotions that this transformative phase brings. Pink lines on a test strip are just the beginning; the true colours of parenthood are painted with the emotions that flow through our hearts. So, whether you're an expectant parent on your own voyage, a loved one offering support, or simply an admirer of human emotions, I extend my hand and invite you to uncover the "Expecting Secrets" that reside in the heart. Welcome to a world of anticipation, revelation, and love—a world where every pink line is a brushstroke of hope and every feeling is a testament to the extraordinary journey of pregnancy and parenthood.

Eat This, Not That When You're Expecting
Author: Jennifer Ashton
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0425284727
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 835
Book Description
Everyone says, when you’re pregnant, you’re eating for two. But I wrote this book because I want to change that thinking. I want you to eat for you. What do I mean by that? My patients know. As an OB/GYN with a full-time practice—not to mention in my roles as Chief Women’s Health Correspondent at ABC News, and as co-host of The Doctors—it’s my mission to deliver the most accessible, up-to-date and action- able information to ensure you stay healthy during your pregnancy, and deliver a beautiful, bouncy bundle of joy at the end. (And I’ve delivered more than 1,500 of them!) That means you’ll need to know the essential vitamins and key nutrients your little one needs to grow, and which foods stave off defects, gestational diabetes, and other complications. And it means you should ask your OB/GYN or midwife to join you in learning, so you can work together to control your nutrition. With 66% of reproductive-age women overweight or obese, the need to combat unhealthy and uninformed eating is a responsibility we all share. But “eating for you” also means being practical. Because I know you’re more than just a mom-to-be. You’re a mom-to-be who’s got a thousand other jobs, from career woman to budding chef to amateur yogi to professional Pinstagrammer and possibly, maybe, if you have 5 minutes left, wife (and perhaps you’re a mom already, in which case, you know what I mean). No matter how you spend your time, chances are you don’t have much of it—and certainly don’t want to spend the next nine months measuring the folate counts in every box of cereal, or starving on your next road trip because Burger King doesn’t serve kale. You need nutrition. And you need it now. And although cooking your own food is the surest way to maintain a healthy diet, you probably can’t do so every day for the next nine months. That’s why I wrote Eat This, Not That! When You’re Expecting, the only book of its kind by a doctor qualified to talk about nutrition, physiology, and disease—who will also tell you what to do the next time you’re at the salad bar, in the yogurt aisle, or at Mickey D’s. Because, let’s be honest, momma’s gonna crave a little Mickey D’s. And she’s going to need clean energy, too. That’s why I’ll also tell you how delicious wild salmon, fresh and creamy smoothies, and time-saving foods like rotisserie chicken or frozen meals can be essential building blocks for healthy trimesters. In the end, you’ll discover not just what to eat, but how to enjoy the foods you love. You’ll eat for you, while nourishing baby, too.

One couple. Nine months. Lots of decisions and even more opinions… Welcome to my life as a pregnant Bengali lady. I went through the arranged marriage process. I met a boy, married him, then learned how to live with him in a whole new city. Life has been an adventure so far, and this might be the biggest yet. I’m going to be a mum! But with a baby on the horizon and an unexpected curve ball, can my glass half empty nature survive the craziest nine months of my life? The Secret Diary of a Pregnant Bengali sees our heroine face her greatest challenge yet, negotiating raging hormones, NCT classes, and a whole host of Bengali old wives’ tales. Exploring race, identity and belonging, former journalist Halima Khatun’s acerbic protagonist will have you laughing and crying. Halima Khatun is a former journalist (having worked for ITV and the BBC), writer and PR consultant. Since she was a child, she knew that words would be her thing. With a lifelong passion for writing, Halima wrote her first novel - a coming-of-age children’s story - at the age of 12. It was politely turned down by all the major publishing houses. However, proving that writing was indeed her forte, Halima went on to study English and Journalism and was one of just four people in the UK to be granted a BBC scholarship during her postgraduate studies. She has since written for a number of publications including the HuffPost and Yahoo! Style, and has been featured in the Express, Metro and other national publications. Halima also blogs on lifestyle, food and travel and parenthood on halimabobs.com. This is where she also shares updates on her novels.
