EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
This book asnwers all the questions about nutritional and herbal medicine for optimum health during pregnancy. Beginning with God's design for health and nutrition, the following is covered in detail: how to eat for a healthy baby, which herbs are safe and which are dangerous during pregnancy, and the best ways to minimize those times of nausea and discomfort. Shonda Parker provides information to guide the pregnant mom and her baby to good health with a balanced approach to herbal and traditional medicine.

A broad range of information and research, coupled with years of experience has emerged to create this health and nutrition book that encompasses far more than the health needs of present and future pregnant women. The author's warm, personal style, combined with an educational powerhouse of information makes The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy essential to a healthful, joy-filled pregnancy. A treasured gift!

Why does this book have to be so religious?  
I didn't think that a book about naturally healthy pregnancies would be filled with bible references. I just searched through for information. This is not a book that I would lay back in bed to enjoy.

Great natural resource  
This book was recommended to me by a friend when she learned I had possible pregnancy induced hypertension. I learned alot from this book on how to approach pregnancy from a natural viewpoint. I prefer to appraoch things from a natural way if possible, while not totally discounting traditional medicine. This, along with What to Expect were the most read during my last pregnancy.

The best all natural pregnancy book  
I have read about six different all natural pregnancy books, and this one is the best. First of all, if you are looking to birth in a hospital and are against the use of herbs, this book is not for you. Shonda is very well educated in the use of herbs for she is a family herbalist and a certified childbirth educator. This definately comes through in this book.
Shonda breaks the book into sections: before conception; and the importance of diet, during pregnancy; all the discomforts and herbs that will ease these things, during labor, and postpartum. She even has a section on if there is a miscarriage. she is very sensitve to this issue having experienced these herself. She also lists some herbs to help with previous miscarriage.
At the end, you can find tips on good family planning if you choose to go that route. Our family believes that God is our birth controller. Excellant book if a homebirth or a midwife is what you desire. God bless you and your future deliveries!

A must for the pregnant woman!!  
I love both of Shonda's books. She not only gives very good recommendations but also backs them up with sound research. This book contains a listing of potential "problems" a pregnant woman may experience during pregnancy and then she gives many possible solutions. In addition, there are sections about infertility, after baby care and miscarriage. I would highly recommend this book and Shonda's other book, "Mommy Diagnostics".

A wonderful women's resource  
I found this book to be a great help to me before my pregnancies as well as during and after. The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy has a great deal of information about herbs and natural methods for dealing with women's health issues and especially those of pregnant women and being a new mommy.

I particularly like the way the author writes, very warm and personal and easy to read and I enjoyed the personal pictures. I like the way the book is laid out and the information is easy to find.

My own midwife buys this book by the case and gives it to all her pregnant clients. I think this book is a must!
