The best book ever!

If I had gotten this book with my first preganacy my delivery would had been wonderful as my second pregnancy and delivery was. This book focuses on YOU the mother, it gives you the knowlege and power to have a beautiful preganacy I read them ALL and only this book made me feel strong and in power to defend my pregnancy from doctors that some times bully you into things that you do not want or you do not need. For people that are not use to holistic and natural medicine could be a little difficult to adapt or difficult to find the herbs and homeopathic remedies but if you really want to try this option search on line for the remedies and teas, you will find them and open your mind to a new experience.

FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT PREGNANCY BOOK!

I've read them all from What to Expect to Belly Laughs, from Pregnancy Sucks to Birthing from Within, and this book was the one that I will keep and share with others. It has some priceless information, beginning with avoiding wheat and sugar to prevent swelling and oversized babies that can cause c-sections. They have a great website also!
