The First 8 Days of Being a Mom Makes Motherhood Easier

Gea Meijering's paperback offering translates into a smoother transition for new moms

 

Laguna Beach, CA -2009 -Gea Meijering launches The First 8 Days of Being a Mom. Geared towards mom's health and changes as well as that of the newborn, this 80 page friendly read is a hands-on guide that leads moms through what happens on delivery day as well as the next few eventful, exciting, not to mention exhausting, days.

Gea Meijering gave birth to two sons on two different continents within twenty months. Upon delivery of her second son, she discovered that maternity care and recovery in the United States was organized in a much different fashion than in the Netherlands. She was amazed by how quickly most new moms in the U.S. are on their own again after delivery. No time to recuperate from the delivery or to learn and get used to the newborn. And no one to teach them the tricks of the trade. In the Netherlands every new mom gets a specialized nurse at home for the first 8 days after delivery. Gea realized that the Dutch approach she experienced with her oldest son was very special. And that the book she used then, and used again the second time, would be a great help to all moms in the U.S. just as it was for her.

The First 8 Days of Being a Mom is Meijering's translation of this helpful Dutch guide compiled by some of the Netherlands top medical professionals. Featuring all the insights of the original, it has been further reviewed by a wide host of Amercian specialists ranging from Pediatricians and OB-GYNS to Midwifes and Doulas to incorporate American practices and sensibilities. Editor Melissa Sherman Pearl joined the fray to keep the language flow intact while ensuring Gea's lovely accent remained throughout the text.

Available online at www.thefirst8days.com, The First 8 Days of Being a Mom can also be ordered in bulk quantities and imprinted with corporate logos for health care organizations, government agencies, community organizations, hospitals, or insurance companies. This easy to read and easy to use information serves as an educational tool and provides a great opportunity to positively impact the health and well-being of company clients, colleagues, and their children.
