Getting Ready to Be a Mother e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The young woman who is looking forward to motherhood is very often torn by sharply conflicting emotions. Her eagerness to have a baby and her happy anticipations may be dimmed by fears and misgivings, by superstitious and er roucous beliefs born of an ignorance that is little less than pathetic. A little information about physiological func tions and an explanation of some of the facts of mother hood prove to be very reassuring to the mystified, unin formed young woman. There is, too, the immeasurably important question of the expectant mother's personal hygiene - the general scheme of her living in such a way as to promote her own and her baby's welfare - concerning which the average young woman is almost wholly ignorant.
