Book Title: "The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth"
Author: Genevieve Howland
Rating: 5/5
I am a librarian so occasionally I read advanced reader copies of books before they go on the market. I happened to get a digital copy of Genevieve Howland's "The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth" a couple years ago before I was ever pregnant. I loved it so much I purchased the physical book as soon as it was published!
It, like many pregnancy books, is a bit of a tome but so worth reading! It is empowering to all moms, whether you want to do the childbirth thing naturally or no. If anything, it gives you a frank overview of the entire childbirth process and what you may experience. And, then, it gives you ways to ultimately be in control of the process as much as you can be.
You can, like me, read it well ahead of pregnancy to be fully prepared. Or, you can read along with your baby's development as each chapter is a week of your pregnancy. It is so informative that I would tell anyone that is going through the process to read it!
Genevieve Howland also has a blog, Mama Natural, that is a GREAT resource for expecting moms and parents alike.
