Synopsis

For women who feel excited, overwhelmed, terrified, or just plain curious about their pregnancy journey, acupuncturist and integrative fertility expert Caylie See has written this pragmatic, insightful, and straightforward guide to finding the best information, resources, and foods to nourish their pregnancies. Balancing Eastern and Western medical perspectives, natural remedies, and recipes, she maps out the terrain of symptoms that women typically encounter from month-to-month--insomnia, morning sickness, and fatigue, to name a few--and gives explanations and solutions for each symptom. The Field Guide to Pregnancy is an encouraging, enjoyable, and inspiring gem that helps women find comfort in an inherently uncomfortable time.

About this title

About the Author

Caylie See, MS, LAc, (FABORM) is a board-licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with over two decades of experience guiding women into successful pregnancies. She has often heard the phrase: "I knew it would be challenging being pregnant, but nobody told me [fill in the blank]." She wrote this book to fill in those blanks for readers. Her passion lies in seeing women through the full-spectrum of their pregnancy experience--especially the challenging parts. She believes that underneath these rocky places lies the very information that women need to feel fully supported and understood.

In addition to her extensive clinical experience in women's health, See has held teaching positions at esteemed academic institutions such as the California Institute of Integral Studies and Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley. She is also widely published in peer-reviewed research including the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. She is currently the executive director of Integrative Fertility and was the founding vice president of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine.

See is also a new mother, an experience that has greatly illuminated these pages.
