Monday's Child is Fair of Face by Steve Roud
Pregnancy and childbirth remains a mystical and magical time, characterised by feelings of hope, uncertainty and worry. This book aims to gather together the beliefs and customs, explaining how and why they arose, in which parts of the country they have been particularly popular, and to what extent they survive.
