The other side of pregnancy

So many books focus on the physical changes of pregnancy. This book prepares you for the spiritual journey to motherhood. This book is perfect for writers, artists, and others who want to savor this special time in their lives.

Great gift book for expectant mommies!

Whether you're pregnant yourself, looking for a gift book, or want to relive life as a pregnant woman, this is a wonderful book. Stories, poems and essays range from the contemplation of motherhood to the glory of a round belly. It's the first book I've seen for pregnant women, by pregnant women, about pregnant women and it's no holds barred: honest, inspiring, touching, real. Buy it, read it and pass it along.

Feeds the Expectant Mother's Soul

After becoming very overwhelmed with several "expecting" books, this book was refreshing to my mind and spirit. Finally, there is a book filled with beautiful essays for the pregnant woman. The writings in this book comforted me during pregnancy because they spoke not only of the beauty of pregnancy but also of the beautiful uncertainties of pregnancy. While the medical "how-to" manuals of pregnancy only induced more anxiety, literature sweet literature was there to comfort.

An ideal gift for friends and family.

Bonnie Goldberg's Spirit Of Pregnancy features stories, poems and essays by notable female writers on the subject of motherhood. This will make the prefect gift presentation for any pregnant friend.

Beyond the "What To" and "How To" of Pregnancy

This collection of funny, insightful and thoughtful essays on the journey to motherhood is a great way to prepare your spirit for transitioning from Independent Woman to MOTHER, a word that deserves to be in all caps. I have the great fortune to have an essay included in this book, but until recently I had not read the entire collection. It really feeds the spirit of the expectant woman, and takes her beyond the important how-to information that other books provide, to provide more thoughtful wisdom on what you've gotten yourself into! Not only is a great investment to add to your collection of books on pregnancy, but I think you'll pass it on to girlfriends to read, too.
