This book provides guidance for expectant mothers on topics ranging from prenatal care and diet to the delivery process and the early care of infants.

It provides insights into the social and cultural context of motherhood during that era, reflecting the prevalent beliefs and concerns surrounding maternal and infant health. Readers interested in the history of medicine, women's studies, and the evolution of childbirth practices will find this book a compelling and informative resource.
