Associate Gynaecologist Upile Kadiwa is set to release her debut book, titled ‘Principles of Spiritual Preparation for Pregnancy’, on March 3, 2025.
The book will be available on Amazon on the same day.
Speaking in an interview with 247 Malawi News,Kadiwa said the inspiration for writing the book stems from her over a decade of experience working with pregnant women and her own personal struggles with pregnancy.
“I have seen many women succumb to infertility and recurrent miscarriages. My own history of losing two babies to congenital abnormalities motivated me to share my knowledge and experience with fellow Malawian women,” said Kadiwa.
She said the book focuses on holistic and practical principles for pregnancy preparation, with a major emphasis on spiritual preparation.
Kadiwa added that she believes many issues in life, including health problems, have a spiritual root, and preparing spiritually is essential for a successful pregnancy.
When asked about the writing industry in Malawi,Kadiwa expressed optimism, stating that the reading spirit is improving and Malawi will become a hub for writers and readers in the next five years.
She said ‘Principles of Spiritual Preparation for Pregnancy’ is her first book, which she started writing in August 2024 and completed in just a month.
She said she plans to publish more books in the future.
“The book will be available for delivery in Malawi through various delivery modes,” said Kadiwa.
She then encouraged Malawians to embrace knowledge and expressed hope that her book will be a catalyst for positive change.
