Life as a Doctor Mom


Book Description

Lauren had it all together. An awesome husband, a flourishing career as a doctor, all the sleep she ever wanted, and socks that always matched. Then Lauren had a baby, and from that point forward, having it all together felt like a distant memory. The perpetual pile of laundry at home was just as tall as the perpetual pile of unfinished charts at the office. Four hours of uninterrupted sleep during an overnight call shift felt like a holiday. Mystery splotches, not cute earrings, accessorized every outfit. She had previously managed to commit 310 clinical practice guidelines to memory, yet she would now forget her four-item grocery list. And her son's first birthday. When she began repeatedly showing up to work with maple syrup in her hair and only one sock on (if she was lucky), she realized that life would never be the same. She would probably never find that second sock, and it was now acceptable that eczema lotion coated everything she owned thanks to her toddler's curiosity. In a series of bright and witty paintings, Life as a Doctor Mom depicts the day-to-day happenings that occur while juggling motherhood and medicine, yet is relatable to all moms regardless of their profession. There's very little reading required - a perfect distraction for when you're wearily lying awake at 3:00 AM wondering why neither your toddler nor your patient have pooped in five days.

The Kind Mama


Book Description

When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples. But instead of considering diet and lifestyle factors, doctors pump their patients full of expensive and invasive fertility treatments. Once pregnant, women just accept that carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable, sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal—and then assume that new motherhood will be just as challenging, from breastfeeding woes to screaming fits. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Kind Mama, Alicia Silverstone has created a comprehensive and practical guide empowering women to take charge of their fertility, pregnancy, and first 6 months with baby. Drawing on her own experience, as well as that of obstetricians, midwives, nutritionists, holistic health counselors, and others, Silverstone offers advice on getting one's "baby house" in order through nutrient-rocking foods that heal and nourish, and, once pregnant, gentle ways to boost comfort, energy, and health during each trimester. She helps readers navigate everything from prenatal testing and birth plans to successful breastfeeding and creating a supportive "baby nest." The result is an authoritative, one-stop guide that empowers women to trust their instincts during this vital milestone, while helping them embark on a healthy and more vibrant path to motherhood.
