This is easily one of the best resources I’ve read in my pregnancy thus far.
First and foremost, I absolutely love how inclusive this book is. From regular acknowledgment of different family compositions, to body positivity, to a general lack of judgement on all fronts, this book has felt like it’s had the broadest applicability yet.
I also love how holistic the authors approach is. You get a good balance of science, reflections, and practical tips to support aspects of your physical and mental wellbeing. It’s definitely presented perspectives I hadn’t considered and spurred conversations in our house that have been really productive.
The balance between prenatal and post partum is also great in this book. There’s a lot of preparation and healing to be done on both sides of pregnancy and I appreciated the supportive nature that this book provides for both.
As a whole, this is one of my favourite pregnancy resources. It’s definitely one I’ll recommend.

if a friend (or even a stranger) asked me for a pregnancy related book recommendation, this is the only one that i would offer. it covers every topic you could imagine regarding the process of pregnancy from the changes you undergo mentally, emotionally and spiritually to navigating the new dynamic of your relationships to what to expect in the hospital and more. overall i love everything about this book. i didn't have the luxury of motherly guidance to help me better understand what i was about to endure, but in my opinion this book was as close as it gets yet dare i say better because it answers questions on topics you weren't even aware of- plus all of the advice is up to date with current practices. highly recommend!!!

Good over view of pregnancy and self care during and after. Not the best/most scientific resource for pregnancy but a good overview and self care centered approach
