Perhaps the time of greatest change and the most uncertainty in a mother's life is before her baby is even born. Pregnant mothers experience it all-the joy, the frustration, the anticipation, nervousness, doubt, exhaustion, preparation, transition, celebration. And so Beth Wilson Saavedra has written Meditations During Pregnancy , a treasured source of insight, inspiration, companionship, and support for any mother-to-be. Each page offers a meditation for the expectant mother's riot of concerns and emotions. Discover meditations on values-It is up to me to teach the values I believe in. Meditations on teamwork-Parents are stronger as a team. Divisions only weaken the bond we share. Meditations on discomfort-The aches and pains are my body's way of telling me it needs attention. Meditations on body image, on priorities, on expecting twins, for first pregnancies, for single mothers, and more.
I received this book as a gift during my pregnancy. It made me feel like I was going through the entire event accompanied by a close friend. Beth shares the joys of pregnancy, the poetic side, as well as the ups and downs. I highly recommend this book as well as the others in her "meditations" series: Meditations for New Mothers and Meditations During Pregnancy. You can read a page a day or look up topics that are salient to you--great arrangment of welcomed advice, perspective and messages of sanity.

At such a special time, it's great to have these focused and brief meditations to start the day. Everything from reminders to take care of yourself to relating to loved ones. Great support! Becky
