By far one of the best pregnancy books I’ve read. Written from a covenantal Christian perspective with rightful approaches to nutrition, health, breastfeeding, birth control, and child rearing. I will say, this book was written in the 90’s and the natural health/birth circles have progressed since then in a few areas, so there are some recommendations in this book I can’t stand behind, like canola oil being a healthy addition to my diet, or receiving a fundal massage after giving birth. Even still, this will definitely be one of my top recommends going forward!

i thought this book was great! there were definitely a few things i took with a grain of salt (like the recommendation of canola oil in your diet), but all in all i think i’ll be referencing this in the future!

4.5 stars This book has been such a helpful resource! I am blessed to have a doctor who is very open to more natural ways of doing things, and this book is a perfect complement to my doctor's approach. Sometimes I wish the organization scheme was a little different, as I often find myself hunting for things in this book, but overall I find it a fantastic resource. The tone is very encouraging, too, which this first time mama definitely appreciates!

After three years of infertility this book helped me to know how to take care of myself the way G*d and nature intended.
