This guide addresses stressful life and conflict situations that are not uncommon among pregnant women. With the help of this book, they should be able to better categorize their problems, for example, whether they are dealing with "normal" stressors or treatment-requiring psychological symptoms. It includes explanatory models for anxiety and grief, information on mother-child bonding, the influence of mental health on pregnancy, therapy and relaxation techniques, as well as exercises for mindfulness and self-care.
