An innovative pregnancy book,
By Shari Maser "author of 'Blessingways: A Guide... (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Pregnant Woman's Companion: Nine Strategies That Work to Keep Your Peace of Mind Through Pregnancy and Into Parenthood (Paperback)
There are many books available about pregnancy and birth, but this is one of my favorites, and my clients as a childbirth educator also find it to be one of the best of the best. We like the acknowledgement that pregnancy affects a woman's body, mind, spirit, and relationships, and that the transition through pregnancy and childbirth into motherhood is often a challenging one. And we like the positive, constructive, individualized approach to helping readers meet the challenge so they can feel good about this major life transition.
The Pregnant Woman's Companion is definitely worth reading.

Perfect Book for the Pregnant Friend in Your Life,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pregnant Woman's Companion: Nine Strategies That Work to Keep Your Peace of Mind Through Pregnancy and Into Parenthood (Paperback)
This is the book that I give to all my newly pregnant friends. This book tells it like it is and offers great advice for the pregnant women. "Confessionals" from other pregnant women help remind the reader they are not alone! The author comes across as the friend all pregnant women wish they had - honest and straight forward. A nice alternative to the typical pregnancy book that can be consulted throughout pregnancy and beyond.
