Beginnings
Dynamic Prenatal Education Materials |
| I have been familiar with these materials for several years, and
have had the honor of reviewing them for Diane and Sandra.

You can order
a free preview copy

to
see for yourself, as works cannot explain the value of these materials.

The
Laurel Burch
logo first
caught my eye, as I was familiar with her work from my years in California.
I of course have several pairs of her beautiful earrings, that are over
20 years old. These logos are threaded through the Beginnings Prenatal
packets, taking on various variations of pregnant women.

As you delve into these materials, you see the breadth and richness.
Very critical prenatal information is presented in a clear and interesting
format. Hand drawn photos and lovely black and white photos by
Harriette
Hartigan highlights the points being made. For example, footprints
of various size developing babies are threaded through the booklets, at
appropriate times. Harriette Hartigan's work is very famliar to those in
the birth community. |
| The packet is divided into six booklets, appropriate for different
times during a pregnancy, and providing 96 pages of valuable information.
This allows for families who read the books to absorb only what is essential
for the time period being talked about, and also provide them with ideas
for questions to ask their health care provider. Each book includes key
warning signs, and explanations that are simple and to the point. The books
also promote a woman learning to trust her inner core, her instinct.
There are also cross references to topics to come or topics already covered.

the mother and her baby. Also included for each client is:
A folder, warning signs card, and key messages poster. |
| Beginnings represents the ultimate in educational materials that
are respectful of all levels of learning and practice. The information
provided is accurate, culturally respectful, and reasonably priced. The
series is also respectful of all types of providers who provide health
care, such as midwives and physicians. These materials can be handed out
in your office, mailed to your clients, or used with other educational
promotions. For example, if you have early pregnancy classes, these
would make a valuable handout, which would promote your practice. I teach
preconception classes, and will be using these materials, along with others
to provide information to those that attend.
|
| There is a Spanish version available for your Spanish Speaking clients.
I highly recommend you request your personal review copy and then order
these for your practice. You can find out more about this at
