Practical natural birth advice without the typical disdain for modern medicine. Encouraging for women who want to do things naturally but not shaming or dismissive of women who need medical assistance, even in pain management! I also love the natural remedies list in the back that tailors homeopathic supplements for different situations in the same symptom. Great book.

One of the most helpful books on pregnancy I have read thus far! I learned so much more beyond pregnancy care, and hope to apply much of the holistic health management to the care of my family as a whole.

Un buen libro para quien se introduce al tema, te habla de las diferentes etapas del embarazo y el parto, las diferentes intervenciones médicas rutinarias y sus pros y contras, también habla sobre remedios naturales pero esa parte no se me hizo tan buena

Despite some views such as “how nature intended” I liked the concept of 1) dignity in pregnancy and birth and 2) having an advocate for the mother through tough entire process as a guide and knowledgeable presence during the birth.

3.5 stars

I've read many pregnancy books--some that are great and others that are less-great. This one had many of the same good tips discussed, but I also liked the discussion of homeopathic and holistic medicine that I don't feel other books have discussed well. And it's written by a Medical doctor--love that perspective.

An excellent book, and we read many while I was pregnant. This gives a thorough overview of natural pregnancy and labour approaches; it quickly became our go-to whenever we had questions or wanted more information. We even picked this in our hospital bag.

I picked this for a pregnant friend who is very into natural and healthy options. Very extensive and interesting point of view on pregnancy, and more information than your doctor could handle.
