One 2011 study found that a mindfulness program reduced premature births, but not birthweight or Apgar scores. Widely acknowledged as one of the world’s foremost experts on mindfulness, Andy Puddicombe, co – founder of Headspace, is your friendly guide in this wonderful new approach to pregnancy, birth and new parenthood. And as long as the flame of expectation is burning, we will continue to experience this point of tension. A lot of content was just speculating on how you might feel at different stages of the pregnancy journey, which makes a lot of sweeping generalisations (of course, because everyone has different experiences).If you're not convinced that meditation or mindfulness is helpful, I don't suspect this book will convince you. Mindfulness, perhaps, gave them the tools to navigate complex emotions that wouldn’t budge, even in the face of the most reassuring reading material. As difficult as the physical sensations can be, I practice feeling gratitude, (and, on rougher days, acceptance) for my physical sensations. This may be because women weren’t practicing meditation at home as much as recommended, or because the mindfulness programs in the experiments weren’t as comprehensive and substantive as they could have been.

There was a weird reference to a tuna sandwich, which as a pregnant women we have to watch our mercury content, so the reference was a bit weird there.When their babies were 10 months old, the mothers brought them into the lab to listen to some audio recordings: a mix of repetitious sounds interspersed with novel ones. The person who will most benefit from this book is someone who already has access to information -- whether it is in a childbirth class or another book -- that covers the basic physical aspects of pregnancy and birth, and can use Donegan’s book as supplemental reading. My four star review is based on the fact that I (a Headspace user) am already convinced of its usefulness. As both author and public speaker,[3] Puddicombe is known for his simple, accessible and secular approach, which has led to over 1 million users of the Headspace platform. Mà sách đẹp lắm, cái gì đẹp cũng dễ đi vào lòng người hết :)) Đọc xong thấy nhẹ nhàng, dễ chịu, không sợ hãi.
