We at Gather Nourish Rise are thrilled that finally there is a book that offers a solution to the struggle we witness new mothers experience. So many women feel isolated and confused in the days and weeks after having a baby because they find that they are unaware and unprepared for the physical and emotional demands of new motherhood. In those vulnerable days, a new family’s strength lies in their resources. This book walks families through how to garner support when you feel you don’t have it and set realistic expectations for yourself and your supportive loved ones. We highly recommend this book to all expecting families.
“This is a valuable book for pregnant women, doulas, grandmothers-to-be, and anyone working with mothers and babies and their families. I recommend it be given to any pregnant women you know, early in her pregnancy.”
—Suzanne Arms, Author, Director, Birthing The Future.
Many women plan extensively for their birth, and for their baby, but few plan for their self-care in the postpartum period and beyond. Seven Sisters for Seven Days is a comprehensive guide book for mothers that illuminates why it is important to receive postpartum care, and how to set yourself up to receive it. This book is an invaluable resource that walks mothers and families through the steps of customizing their postpartum care and teaches them how to call upon a postpartum community care team.
