Synopsis

From Genevieve Howland, creator of the Mama Natural blog and YouTube channel, comes a “must-read, comprehensive guide that empowers moms-to-be” (Vani Hari, New York Times bestselling author) with week-by-week support to natural pregnancy.

For the last half-century, doctors have controlled childbirth. Many pregnancy guidebooks are conventional, fear-based, and written by male physicians deeply entrenched in the old-school medical model of birth.

But change is underway. Women are taking back their pregnancy and childbirth and embracing a natural way. Now, Genevieve Howland, the woman behind the enormously popular Mama Natural blog and YouTube channel, has created an inspiring, fun, and informative guide that demystifies natural pregnancy and walks moms through the process one week at a time.

In this revised and updated edition, Howland includes the latest research and weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy, detailing vital nutrition information, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions.

Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds along with insights from experts including registered nurses, certified midwives, doulas, and lactation consultants. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, The Mama Natural’s Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth is an essential companion for women everywhere to embrace natural pregnancy and reap all the benefits for both baby and mama.

Goodreads review by Kaetlyn on January 09, 2024

This book is a slightly crunchier version of What to Expect When You're Expecting. If you want to be fear mongered with a touch of "natural" this is the book for you. If you want to know every single test, intervention, vitamin, mineral, danger, etc with a touch of "natural" this is the book for you......more

Goodreads review by Niki on September 28, 2017

I LOVED this book. This is my third pregnancy (one miscarriage), and it is everything I was looking for during my first two pregnancies but didn't find. The format of the book was great. It is a week-by-week guide, with the first page of each week sharing "what's up with baby?" and "what's up with M......more

Goodreads review by Meghan on June 13, 2024

I read this over the course of my last trimester, so not really during my early months of pregnancy, but I still enjoyed it nevertheless. I thought it had nice information I mostly didn’t know already, good advice/tips & even some helpful recipes. As many pregnancy books are, this is all-encompassin......more

Goodreads review by Rebekah on January 11, 2020

I've been reading through this book since the early stages of my pregnancy and WOW... It has been so helpful and interesting to read. I love the week by week format, although I decided to read ahead and finish up early (just in case!). There is so much I loved about this book - the illustrations, th......more

Goodreads review by Emily on July 07, 2017

This is by far my favorite pregnancy book. The author provides a balanced perspective, with the "natural"/physiological options given first. She brought in midwives, doulas, and plenty of reference evidence throughout the book, and balanced out advice with affirmations, recipes, and anecdotes. This......more
