A new child can bring with it new worries, new challenges, and new stresses, as well as new feelings, new understandings, and new joys. While these changes are a unique experience for the parent, they can also be challenging at times. Pregnancy and transition to parenthood is a period of adjustment that has important effects on the baby-parent relationship and the development of the baby. Relevant education, information and advice for new parents during this transition period is important. In this book, physical, psychological and social preparation for becoming a parent before pregnancy, psychological adaptation of the mother and father to pregnancy, parental attachment, the process of becoming a mother and father, as well as the pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum preparation of the pregnant woman and her family for parenthood are included.
The book, Preparing for Parenthood, has emerged as a result of the hard work of a strong team of writers from various cities and universities in Turkey. We hope that the book will be useful to midwives, nurses, midwife and nurse candidate students, as well as to mothers and fathers, new mothers and fathers, and to the world of science.

Our colleagues who provide services in the field of health and are responsible for care have very important responsibilities. Our colleagues are expected to use scientific evidence, follow up-to-date information, and convey the results of their work to care.
Our colleagues, who are aware of these responsibilities, carry out studies in many fields, especially in complementary medicine applications, in order to obtain new evidence and contribute to the development of databases of their professions.
However, the legal regulations on complementary medicine practices cause us to have difficulties in permitting the studies we will do in this field. We wanted to create this book in order to draw attention to the work of our colleagues on complementary medicine practices, whose place and importance in the field of health are well known, and to shed light on what they will do.
Hope it will be useful to your readers and the literature…
