Editorial Reviews: Reading THE NATURAL PREGNANCY BOOK is like having your own personal herbalist and midwife at your side. Expertly written by Aviva Jill Romm, who has been providing family-centered natural health care for almost 20 years, it was one of the first books to explore botanical medicine and pregnancy. In this revised and updated edition, Ms. Romm thoughtfully follows the woman’s journey from conception to birth, focusing on natural health. She describes herbs that can promote and maintain a healthy pregnancy (along with those you should avoid during your term) and the basics of a healthy diet, with an emphasis on natural foods. THE NATURAL PREGNANCY BOOK is a complete guide for the woman who envisions a safe pregnancy without technological intervention, as nature intended.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An uplifting and positive message about your pregnancy Comment: This book will make you feel empowered and optimistic about your pregnancy and delivery. The author writes in a gentle but knowledgeable style. I especially like the exercises recommended to prepare your body for birth. She also lists some herbs that are okay during pregnancy. As a very hands on pregnant person, I don't want to sit around and wait for nine months to go by. I am actively helping to change my body as it changes. Customer Rating: Summary: The best book Comment: I have read a few book now and this one is my favorite. I really enjoy it and will share it with friends I highly recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Book for the Novice Comment: I found this book to be so helpful, since it was much easier to read for the novice herbalist. I am over 35 having my first pregnancy and want to do natural childbirth. This book has really helped me with what herbs to take for delivery and what to be aware of. I especially liked the chapter written by her husband. My husband was quite concerned about me going the "natural route" at my age. An excellent book for a first time mother. Customer Rating: Summary: Great book for a fearless pregnancy Comment: I used this book for my first pregnancy and gave it to a friend when I had my baby. When I became pregnant again, I had to have it! I love this book. The author provides some extremely sound advice and help around a healthy pregnancy. She doesn't list a litany of problems and issues like some books I've read. She reminds us that, as women, we were born to give birth. There is nothing to fear, and there are some very easy ways to stay healthy through your pregnancy. It is focused on herbal remedies, yoga and holistic approaches to staying healthy and fit. I don't find her preachy or over the top as some of those books can be. She very down to earth and her experience comes through. Customer Rating: Summary: Natural Pregnancy Book review Comment: I consider myself something of a naturalist, but this book was a bit too obscure for me. If you are looking for more concrete advice during your pregnancy - it may not suit you. It is also helpful to have your own midwife to compliment some of the suggestions given -which I was unable to access - since the book doesn't concur with popular medicine. The section on use of herbs is very helpful. More Reviews
