Books Worth Reading – For the Mom(-To-Be)

January 17, 2020
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Even years before I was pregnant, I was reading reading reading, about kids, about childbirth, about babies…so hopefully my reading can take some of the not-as-good (in my opinion) reads out of the mix for you. I’ve always read about these topics out of interest, but also for my teaching of kids of all ages, so I tossed in a couple books that extend to anyone working with, or being around, children. Here are some of my favourites when it comes to pregnancy, sleep habits, and talking to kids!

Expecting Better by Emily Oster

Emily Oster takes all the “rules” of pregnancy, such as what foods to avoid and what testing to do at the doctors, and then explains why these are rules, so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. It helps to weigh all the pros and cons of the decisions you make! This book is also good for all “rebels” that need more answers to the do’s and don’ts of pregnancy.

The Mama Natural Week-By-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth by Genevieve Howland

This book is right up my alley with it’s natural ways. Howland gives you insight into what natural alternatives can do for you and your baby, and how they can help you enjoy both your 40-some weeks growing your baby and then birthing that little one! It is very natural, so be warned if you feel like it could be too much for you.

HypnoBirthing by Marie F. Mongan

This guide has helped many women I know have a natural child birth. It is very “hippy,” for lack of a better word, but the meditative aspect is wonderful, and the different speeches and practices are great to pick and choose from.

How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber & Julie King

This book will help make parenting more fun, as your learn to listen to your kids and talk in a way they understand – limiting the arguing and getting through to your toddlers! This book, along with How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, I found to be very helpful in my teaching, so this does not need to be limited to parents alone. There’s more parenting specific books that I want to share, so stay tuned for that future post!

Happy Reading, Mamas!!

My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the worl My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the world!!

As of yesterday, the full course is released, and this wave of relief just washed over me!! The amount of time, energy, and resources that goes into these courses is more than I would have ever known, but I’m so happy, and grateful to have them available to people for a lifetime, and also to have a way to continue to offer music to many more people, in many more homes, for unlimited time!!

Tomorrow I’ll release a blog that will answer all the top questions I’ve been asked about my Preschool Music eCourse and my Beginner Piano eCourse, so you can see if they are a fit for you or anyone you know!!

But now, tell me a goal you’re dreaming up - work-related or not!!

I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it with these five fun photos!

1. I didn’t like anything grapefruit before I had Collins, and now I’m always like, “Give me all the grapefruit sparkling water!”

2. I’ve always had multiple jobs from the time I was a teenager…I sum it up to me thinking that variety is the spice of life. 

3. I believe ketchup and mustard belong on breakfast egg sandwiches. 

4. If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a mom!” I still think it’s the greatest gift in the whole entire world. 

5. Even though I said variety is the spice of life, I am wildly good with repetition for an incredible amount of time…the same food, the same song, the same walk…I don’t know if it’s patience or just insanity, but I don’t get sick of the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. 

Give me a fun fact about you!!
