  This was an okay read, but a lot of it is common sense or things I already knew, and it’s not very well written either (for instance, it contradicts itself several times). It didn’t give me as much info as I’d have liked, especially since I’m trying to read the most books on pregnancy/childbirth/childrearing as I can in the time before my baby is born. There are lots more useful books out there…wouldn’t recommend this one.

  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.

  I am teach Natural Childbirth, and, as such, have read many, many books concerning pregnancy and childbirth. I absolutely love the tone in which this book is written! Pregnancy is truly a special, beautiful time in a woman’s life, and birth ought to be as well. I have enjoyed the nourishment tea recipe the author includes, as well as the useful herbal information. Beware, however, of the pagan content. It is a wonderful book!

  When I found this book, I was pregnant with my daughter. Following Romm’s advice, I was able to successfully deal with minor complications I was having by using nutrition and herbs. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for sound, safe advice from a standpoint of natural methods. I have lent this book out many times, all to rave reviews, and now it travels from expectant mother to expectant mother. I am happy that it is circulating among friends, helping women. After my daughter was born, I bought Romm’s book on healthy children, and following her nutrition and herbal medicine recommendations I have nursed my daughter through chicken pox, two ear infections, a bad fever and several episodes of congestion/colds/coughs. My daughter is healthy (despite this list of illnesses), and has never had to take antibiotics. In fact, using Romm’s remedies, none of these illnesses ever got bad enough to require a doctor visit. I can thank Romm for the fact that my girl has only visited doctors for well child check-ups. I have been inspired enough by this success to pursue a career in herbal medicine and nursing. This is the only book review I have written for Amazon, and I am a voracious reader of natural medicine/nutrition/gardening/beekeeping/fiction/natural housebuilding books. Romm is now a medical doctor with a degree from Yale. Thanks Aviva!
