5.0 out of 5 stars Glow Baby Glow! November 3, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just finished reading Mama Glow: A Hip Guide to Your Fabulous Abundant Pregnancy by Latham Thomas {MAMA GLOW herself}. If you want to feel, empowered, healthy, vibrant and whole before, during and after pregnancy this is the book for you. The praise, credentials, maternal advocacy and experience alone are enough to inspire a blissful and abundant process. I especially love her holistic approach to everything from stress, common discomforts, beauty and nutrition. The "GLOW" is possible and the secret is in these pages. Thank You Latham Thomas for this gift to all women!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not always practical December 12, 2012
By inelson
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mama Glow was a great book to read for advocating a healthier pregnancy. I liked the layout, tips, and categories - incorporating mind, body, and spirit (and YOGA!). However, sometimes the author writes in a way that seems like she was the "perfect" pregnant woman - which doesn't feel empowering when you're craving potato chips and feel like a failure because you spent your day on the couch. Also, unless you want to buy out an entire health food specialty store, a lot of the recipes and beauty tips are impractical, esp. on a budget. The website (so far) doesn't provide the "tips" it says it does. All that said, I did enjoy reading it and found it a useful collection of base knowledge for getting me started on a healthy pregnancy and lifestyle.

UPDATE: I emailed the author of the book using the "contact" link from the website around the time I first reviewed this book (over a month ago) asking about the website "tips" that the book refers to. I have yet to receive a response. I will let you know if/when I do.
