Dear Readers...
Congratulations you’re pregnant! Life will never be the same again - enjoy it!
Pregnancy is a blissful time full of anticipation to be shared with your nearest and dearest. You will have your good days, your not so good days and days when staying in bed and resting is what your body demands. Particularly in the first tri-mester, surrender is the key - listen to what your body is asking of you and do it.
Pregnancy brings out the best in us, when we are simply glowing, and the worst, when we are at our most primal and our hormones take over. With this in mind, this weeks enews features Emma Tom’s recently released book, ’Attack of the Fifty Foot Hormones’ with 6 copies to be won, Jessica Rowe shares about post natal depression and the wonderful Natalie Ebrill helps you to survive the first six weeks and bond your new baby.
Welcome to our new subscribers who recently met Elena and Sarah at events across NSW, we hope you enjoy our newsletters and share your tips and ideas with our online community at - |

For many women, the emotional aspects of pregnancy are far more taxing than the physical ones. There's no shortage of studies into the health of the foetus and the physical state of its incubator. But how women FEEL during pregnancy is largely ignored. It's just pregnancy, right? They'll cope. Unfortunately, not everyone does.

Parenting Australia and HarperCollins have 6 copies of Attack of the Fifty-Foot Hormones valued at $35 to give away. |
