Broad overview of so many relevant topics

Broad overview of so many relevant topics for expecting moms. This guide provides brief descriptions of most topics; it's best used as a starting point for moms who are curious/just starting to learn about holistic care and a natural birth. Since the book provides overviews rather than deep dives, it would benefit from recommended resources for moms interested in learning more about any given chapter.

Full of Great Information

This book is fantastic, and I wish I'd had it during my pregnancy. I especially appreciated the checklist for planning and choosing a doctor, which would have been so helpful at the time. I’m also thankful the author, Natalie Herman, highlighted the importance of pelvic therapy. Unfortunately, I only learned about it after experiencing a birth injury, but if I had known earlier, I could have started therapy sooner. The book also offers valuable insights on postpartum care and more. Highly recommend!
