Be Fruitful: The Jewish Pregnancy and Birth Guide

By: Woodstein, B. J.

Be Fruitful: The Jewish Pregnancy and Birth Guide is a thorough explanation of Jewish perinatal beliefs and practices.
This book offers support to Jewish individuals and families as they go through pregnancy, birth, infant-feeding, and the postpartum period. It features an array of stories from Jewish people explaining their choices and how these decisions were informed by their Jewish heritage and practices.

This book also informs non-Jews about how culture and religion can impact Jewish patients' needs when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and parenting. This is especially useful information for healthcare professionals, such as midwives, doulas, doctors, fertility specialists, peer supporters, and anyone else who serves Jewish patients or clients.

Jewish readers will feel seen and encouraged, and non-Jewish readers will feel more knowledgeable and confident in their ability to support Jewish families who are welcoming a new baby.
