Synopsis

Pregnancy isn't just about creating a baby. It's also about the powerful transformation we go through on the journey to becoming "mama."

We created The Motherly Guide to Becoming Mama to coach and inspire you each step of the way. This is the pregnancy book we wish we'd had—a mama-centered guide that doesn't just focus on your baby's needs, but honors and coaches you through this profound life change.

And you don't have to do this alone. At your highest highs and your lowest lows, there is a village of professionals and peers to traverse this path with you.

This book won't bog you down with demands, give you more to be worried about, or tell you what to do. It's impossible to know exactly what to expect during your pregnancy—after all, you are your own amazing woman with unique dreams, experiences, and needs. Instead, we've filled this guide with the best knowledge, wisdom, and support we have to offer.

Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, whether you're still deciding about pregnancy or have an unplanned baby on the way, becoming mama involves your body, mind, emotions, lifestyle, relationships, schedule, spirituality, worldview—and most of all, your heart.

Goodreads review by Meredith on October 31, 2022

A great comprehensive overview of pregnancy and postpartum. I feel like there's a really nice balance of traditional medical content and also moments of meditation/reflection/spirituality. It's written with sensitivities towards the diversity of the type of people who get pregnant, all the various c......more

Absolutely LOVED this book and was my favorite out of all the pregnancy books I read (about 4 others). I love that it includes all of the technical and medical information while also having the warm/fuzzy/supportive vibe.......more
