Lots of great natural remedies and instructions for pregnancy and after. It gives plenty of nutritional suggestions too. And it's all about alternative therapies, like acupuncture, flower remedies, etc. But beware, it's a British book, so there are some cultural differences...

[Dora · Rating 2 out of 5]

Knjiga nudi niz savjeta vezanih uz trudnoću, ali se u velikoj mjeri oslanja na alternativne pristupe poput akupunkture, akupresure i homeopatije. Mnogi od tih savjeta djeluju zastarjelo i nisu u skladu s današnjim medicinskim preporukama, osobito kada je riječ o primjeni eteričnih ulja i biljnih čajeva u trudnoći. Iako knjiga sadrži i korisne savjete, čitatelj mora pristupiti sadržaju s oprezom, koristiti zdrav razum i prije svega slijediti upute liječnika. Kao dodatna literatura može biti zanimljiva, ali ne i pouzdan izvor informacija.

Pretty basic, but goes through common symptoms felt during pregnancy, and natural remedies for fighting them. (like acupuncture, nutrition, hydrotherapy, etc.) I thought this was a great supplement book.

Actually useful and smart! Full of holistic and other alternative treatments for common pregnancy ailments. Also common sense. Full of common sense writing. I appreciate this.
