 By Jamie Kalynuik, Founder/CEO of Toronto Yoga Mamas I LOVED reading during my pregnancy. I would slow down after a busy day, make a cup of warm water with lemon and honey {my fave}, cuddle up with a book, and connect with babe. Here are a handful of my top pregnancy books. I'd love to hear what books you are reading on your journey. Feel free to comment too in the section below.  The Birth Of A Mother: How the Motherhood Experience Changes You Forever By Danielle N Stern I loved this book because it covers the inner transformation a woman goes through - how the mother is born psychologically during her pregnancy and after the babe is born. I found this book perfect to read during my first trimester when so much of the pregnancy I was experiencing was emotional.  Healthy Holistic Pregnancy By Jesse Lane, CNP This book reads almost like a pregnancy journal by author, mama and Holistic Nutritionist Jesse Lane. I found myself relating to many of the symptoms, emotions, questions she talked about while I followed along on her journey. I really like that she focused on natural solutions for many pregnancy ailments and pregnancy. Bonus: she included yummy pregnancy-friendly recipes for the first trimester and beyond. Super Bonus: she is a member of Toronto Yoga Mamas and speaks to the benefits she enjoyed by practicing prenatal yoga.  The Rebel Mama’s Handbook For Cool Moms By Aleksandra Jassem and Nikita Stanley This book made my shoulders relax and my heart smile. Authors Nikita and Aleksandra did a great job covering everything from pregnancy to toddlerhood in a straightforward and non-judgemental way...all while making made me laugh at the same time. I love that these mamas are from Toronto and have an active instagram account that compliments all the feels that the book gives.  Bountiful Beautiful Blissful By Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa This book was gifted to me by my friend Christine and arrived during the perfect time in my pregnancy when I was looking for more spiritual way to connect with my journey and babe. I read this book in the last part of my third trimester when I was feeling quite pregnant...and bountiful. I really loved reading the meditations in this book while I was slowing down and turning inwards. I would love to know which books you enjoyed during your pregnancy and why. Please feel free to share in the comment section below.
