An Essay from Heidi Murkoff
What to Expect started with information--or, actually, lack of information. In fact, when I found out I was expecting for the first time--I didn't have the slightest idea of what to expect. And back then, it wasn't as easy to find out what to expect as you'd think. I created What to Expect When You're Expecting because I couldn't find the answers to my questions or the reassurance for my worries that I was searching for in the pregnancy books I read (and believe me, I read plenty). I was a mom on a mission--a mission to help other moms and dads worry less and enjoy their pregnancies (and their babies, and their toddlers) more. And I've been on that mission ever since.

So what sent me back to recreate What to Expect--for a fourth time? Today, there's definitely no lack of information on pregnancy. In fact there's more information than ever before (a quick online search of pregnancy or a glance at pages and pages of pregnancy and parenting options right here on Amazon will clue you in on that). But often what's still hard to find is the right kind of information. Information that's accurate yet empathetic, reassuring yet realistic--that empowers you, but doesn't overwhelm or confuse you, that guides you but doesn't dictate to you. And it's not just about the right information, it's about information that's presented in the way that's most helpful--easy to access, easy to digest, easy to use. It's about information that makes your pregnant life less stressful--more enjoyable, and, well, easier.

The fourth edition is a new What To Expect for a new generation of readers--you!--and I'm excited to say it's the best What To Expect yet. It's packed with all new information, of course (since things tend to change quickly in the baby-making and baby-delivering business--something you're probably all too aware of already if you've made more than one trip to the birthing room). But it doesn't only take into account what's new in obstetrics and what's new in pregnancy; it takes into account what's relevant to pregnant women now. Lifestyle. Working. Eating on the run. Juggling the pregnant life with real life. Keeping up with relationships. Birthing options that are family friendly and pregnancy care that incorporates the best that complimentary and alternative medicine has to offer. Managing multiples (which more and more moms are carrying). Sorting out the information from the misinformation--the reality from the hype, fact from Internet legend.

The fourth edition also takes into account how you likely use books these days, so the format is even more accessible than ever. More geared to in-the-moment, find-it-in-a-flash reading.

Most important of all, the fourth edition celebrates pregnancy. I have a passion for pregnancy, and always have. I love moms, I love dads, and I love babies. But everything about this fourth edition from the happy, excited mom-to-be on the cover, proudly caressing her beautiful belly and its even more beautiful contents, to the adorable week-by-week description of the making of your baby, to the positive (yet realistic), mom-to-mom tone throughout--this fourth edition is not just an explanation of those 9 amazing (though often bewildering) months you have ahead of you. It's a celebration of them.

What to Expect When You're Expecting fourth edition is everything moms and dads have come to expect from What to Expect... only better. And I can't wait to start sharing it with you.

I guess you can say--I'm a proud mama all over again.

--Heidi Murkoff

Good but there are better.

The drawback for this book is it clearly explains almost every possible complication. With the monthly format it is a lot to read at a time. The list of complications and possible symptoms each moth can be very daunting. Yet with all of that the book is also a great resource. It gives you many things to consider that you may never have thought of. It is much more comprehensive than many other pregnancy books. It has some nice charts in the back to help you keep track of weight, size and other notes for the Doctor's or Midwives. It also has a section for coping with pregnancy loss and also preparing for the next child. A good resource for any couple expecting a child. With over 12 Million copies sold this book now, in it's 3rd edition has been trusted by many people. The authors have also written:

Does not deserve to be America's #1 pregnancy book
I just read this book cover to cover. No, seriously. And man, am I glad I was not pregnant at the time.

This is far from the first pregnancy/childbirth/parenting book I've ever read. I'm a health and research nut, and a librarian, so I do a lot of research and reading before I do anything. I try to consult a variety of sources from different viewpoints. Since this is the #1 most-recommended pregnancy book, I figured I might as well read this one too and see what all the fuss is about. I have yet to figure it out.

1) The main issue I have with this book is the clear lack of research that went into it. There are absolutely ZERO references in the entire book (and it is a beast of a book). The author's credentials also seem to be limited to a) she's a mom, and b) she is the author of this book. Yet she spouts "knowledge" and information like it's gospel. The forward is written by an esteemed OB/GYN, and I can see why he endorses the book, which I...
Not the best pregnancy guide
This was "THE BOOK" everyone told me to get when I got pregnant for the first time. So, of course, I ran out and bought it the moment my pregnancy test was positive! But, honestly, I didn't think it was that helpful.
The second chapter is titled "Now that you are Pregnant" and most of that chapter deals with "what you may be concerned about" which could also be titled "everything that could possibly go horribly wrong with your pregnancy" and it scared me half to death. I think it increased the amount of worrying I was doing exponentially [which couldn't have been a good thing!].
I also thought the diet portion was pretty ridiculous. I agree that we need to eat very healthily, especially during pregnancy. I eat very well and I ate especially well when pregnant. However, no human being I've ever met could [or would] stick to this diet plan. It was so strict as to be useless, in my opinion. I think people do much better with a...

Review :
Loaded with helpful hints for the new dad
This is one of the few "Dummies" guide that isn't too hard to hold. It's the size of a normal book and not too thick. All the questions are answered in this guide, starting with the first news announcing impending Dadhood.

To make the book's contents easier to digest, here is the breakdown. The chapters are divided into five parts. The first part prepares the man for dadhood and talks about the changes he can expect. This goes for both planned and unplanned pregnancies.

The second part breaks up the pregnancy. Then each one is broken down further into trimesters. This part also covers the difficulty in getting pregnant, and some of the things to try in order to get pregnant.. A good note is seeing the changes in the pregnant mate during this phase of the pregnancy. The final stage here is planning the type of birth and finding the right birth practitioner.

Part III covers the birth, after birth, and care for the newborn. This also...
Comprehensive book on the practicalities of being a dad - not only during pregnancy and birth but also through college days
I am going to be a 2nd time father and I cannot say how grateful I am for this book as I had forgotten what it was like preparing for a newborn and going through the medical appointments and classes etc with my wife, and this book exactly reminds me that I have to be that support for my partner even though she is going to deliver a 2nd time around.

This book not only tells you what to prepare for a healthy baby, but also in case things don't turn out to be what you wish or expect to be. This is very very real for us because my wife is in the higher risk segment due to her age.

To sum up, this book has information on the pregnancy (pre-birth) and how your partner body is like at each trimester, what essentials to prepare for both the spouse and the newborn, as well as any children you already have, the during of delivery - such as cord cutting, during delivery and the post birth stuff such as breastfeeding, traveling with the baby etc. This also has a section on...
This book and a chill pill would be a perfect baby shower gift for the father-to-be ...
This is one book that should show up at every baby shower. I have yet to run into a father-to-be who knows much about babies. In fact, apart and aside from the “proud” aspect, most of them are fairly wide-eyed with varying degrees of fright. It’s rather funny in a way, but not really. This guide may not have a chill pill with it, but can do a lot to calm the old nerves.

If you take a close look at a lot of family pictures, Dad is oftentimes holding the newborn with an odd look on his face. The “What do I do now?” look is usually there. This book is essentially about the entire process of getting to that point. It starts right out with a welcome to fatherhood and a glimpse of each trimester. Are you going to take the plunge? There’s no time like the present one I always say.

Next up we sometimes find out that this getting pregnant isn’t always as easy as it seems. This chapter deals with those sad, but true facts...

Review :
Great book for expecting parents

Great book for expecting parents. This book has tons of information. The only negative thing I can say about it is the book format is a little strange, very tall and not very wide, but that's so minor compared to all of the great information inside the book. I should note that I bought this book after purchasing Baby 411, which was a mistake since my child isn't born yet. This book has much more relevant information for my current situation. I would recommend this book to every expecting parent!

Good book, just prefer the traditional one.

It has a lot of really good information that is easy to read and laid out well. I was given What to Expect When You're Expecting and if I was only allowed to have one of the two, I'd choose the latter. I feel the information flows much better in What to Expect, then Expecting 411, making an easier and more enjoyable read.

Great book

This book was Very helpful and informative!! I recommend this book for any new mom starting off!! Great detail and layer out well!!

Did you know that simple changes in your diet could increase your fertility by 60 percent? That what you eat when you're pregnant could affect whether your child will need to wear glasses or braces? That increasing your intake of certain nutrients before you become pregnant could radically decrease your chances of suffering from morning sickness?

In Beautiful Babies, nutrition educator Kristen Michaelis reveals the truth about diet and pregnancy. Based on her research of the nutrient-rich diets of healthy and fertile populations around the world, she lays out exactly what you should and shouldn't eat when trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and while breast-feeding. In the first half of the book she explains the ways industrialized foods can prevent pregnancy, how a low-fat diet can increase your likelihood of infertility by 85 percent, what to do if breast-feeding doesn't work for you, why babies can't digest cereal, and gives step-by-step instructions on how and when to introduce your baby's first foods. In the second half of the book she equips you with more than 50 recipes for incorporating traditional fertility-boosting foods into your diet. Beautiful Babies provides you with everything you need to know about having a healthy pregnancy and nourishing your growing baby.

Orange Cheese Lover Says: This Changed My Life
I'm not a foodie. I love processed foods. Orange cheese, McDonalds, tube cookie dough... what the heck is this book on my recommendations page? Why would I even order it? I'm not a Weston Price person or any of those organizations. (15 days ago I had NEVER heard of Weston Price.) Heck, I didn't even know what coconut oil was or what the difference between corn and canola oil was two weeks ago. Why would you want beef that was raised on grass when corn-fed beef doesn't have that kind-of weird taste? And yes, chicken skin is so good, but it's really bad. Now, I eat and sleep and breathe this stuff. I mean it. Amazon somehow figured I might like this. Probably when I was buying a yogurt maker or a Montessori teaching book. I buy nothing else with Organic, Slow Food, Grass-Fed, or the like in the title. It's a little frightening how they could predict. Well, it arrived. I ordered it sort-of irresponsibly because I always feel a little guilty that I can't breast feed. I opened it sitting...
Ideal nutrition to promote fertility, a healthy pregnancy, breastfeeding, and baby's first solids
Kristen Michaelis is well-known in the blogging world for her site “Food Renegade,” which focuses on a traditional foods diet. Now she has applied her knowledge of nutrition to baby-making; “Beautiful Babies” is all about how to eat right to promote fertility, being healthy while pregnant, how a woman's diet can improve the quality of her breastmilk, and venturing into the world of solid foods once the baby is ready. Like many in the traditional foods movement, Michaelis promotes the dietary principles advocated by the Weston A. Price Foundation; unlike some names from that community who have been in the blogging spotlight of late, Michaelis is refreshingly non-judgmental towards women who do not maintain a “perfect” diet. Good nutrition is indeed important, and it is the author's goal to help women work towards it, but she keeps a very positive attitude about it all, offers suggestions to help those who are having a hard time eating certain...
This book increased my fertility!
After miscarrying my first pregnancy I was told I had a hormonal imbalance that was possibly PCOS (though I don't fit the standard profile) and it would be necessary for me to use fertility drugs to have a "strong" ovulation. After 8 months of following the recommended low-fat, calorie counting diet that many physicians adhere to, 3 rounds of fertility drugs and 2 failed IUIs, my husband and I were feeling hopeless and helpless (not to mention broke as we had spent some of our house savings for fertility treatments).

At the end of February I pre-ordered this book and took your online "Beautiful Babies" course. I started the course right away and made several immediate changes, most importantly adding in more good fats to my diet as I learned about the important role of cholesterol in hormone production. My TSH(thyroid) levels equalized after 5 months of being elevated and I felt much better. My other hormone levels began to equalize as well (all confirmed by blood test). I...

Review :
Outstanding!

This book was just what we needed. It presents the pregnancy basically "day by day". It shows pictures as to what the developing baby might look like/size at each step of the way. Tons of information and all organized in an easy to read manner! Why waste your time searching the internet when it is ALL right here organized and read to be read anywhere, anytime...even when the internet connection is DOWN. My wife loves this book, she takes it with her all around the house, hahaha. Worth the $$

Very useful the first time - and beyond.

I purchased this book many years ago for myself. It features day to day updates with useful tidbits you might not think to ask. There are also milestone updates and what to expect at your major appointments / scans. I will say, it is based around the UK system, but that did not put me off. I felt it actually added to the book. I am expecting a second time and found myself forgetting what happened the first time - out came his book. Also, when I found out my sister was expecting, this was my first gift to her.

Manageable reads for my husband and I before bed - a quick lesson of what's happening around that time and what to think about!

A friend actually gave me this book, and I simply adore it. Yes, this information isn't revolutionary and can be found in other sources like the What to Expect book (which I am also reading - and the app), Internet sources, etc. However, this book is beautiful to look at (lots of pictures, and the book is full color), and in a high quality hard cover. It breaks tidbits of info and knowledge down into manageable bites - a page or two per day to read. It also ranks things so you are reading about them when you are experiencing them or need to start planning ahead time-wise, which makes me feel like I am staying on track. This is perfect for me right before bed, and enough that I don't overwhelm my husband, but are are learning, together. I think it's a great buy for first time mom, and would make a lovely gift. I really can't say enough nice things about it!

I really dislike reading lengthy text books

I really dislike reading lengthy text books, but with the accompanying study guide I can focus on what's important. The study guide helps you pick out this information and takes a lot of the stress away when trying to decide what's really important. As a night shift LPN I don't have a lot of time to study before classes. With these combined books I can focus my study time and condense it to the time I have available without really sacrificing the necessary content.

Five Stars

Arrived on time and it's as described.

I think it is a great idea and could be helpful

I bought this for nursing school. Honestly, while in school I had no time to complete a single page. I think it is a great idea and could be helpful.

Showcasing your baby's weekly progress with watercolor fruits and veggies-growing in size from pea to pumpkin-this journal is the perfect place to record the memories and thoughts most important to you.

•Ribbon bookmark for easy placeholding

Review :
Some intriguing prompts, but others are a bit creepy. There is not much room for weekly notes and only 9 spaces for photos.
I'm updating this review after using this book for 26 weeks:

This journal does a good job of prompting you to write about things you might not have thought to discuss. Somewhat of a "fill in the blank" process, the journal has incomplete sentences that you fill in. There have been several, such as, "Baby, what I really want you to know about me is _______________" that I probably wouldn't have ever thought to include in my baby journal, and was glad to write about. Some other examples of this are:

"My parents are acting ______ and it makes me feel ______"

"The baby can hear now. What he/she probably hears most is _____."

"Baby, someone gave me this advice about you and I don't want to forget it: ______".

However, there are only 9 pages for photos, and next to no room to record what's happening each week during my pregnancy, as the entire page each week is taken up by these fill-in-the-blank questions. Some of the prompts don't...
Perfect

I got this for my 3rd pregnancy...exactly what I wanted. Just the right amount of questions, and I keep track of little stories on the "fruit" pages. Love it.

Cute idea but not practical enough for my taste

The journal has cute fill-in-the-blanks for week-by-week but very little room for free form journaling. It also does not include room to record notes from doctors appointments, ultrasounds, etc which is something that I would really like to see.

Comforting and intimate, this “girlfriend” guide to getting pregnant gets to the heart of all the emotional issues around having children—biological pressure, in-law pressures, greater social pressures—to support women who are considering getting pregnant.

Trying to get pregnant is enough to make any woman impatient. The Impatient Woman’s Guide to Getting Pregnant is a complete guide to the medical, psychological, social, and sexual aspects of getting pregnant, told in a funny, compassionate way, like talking to a good friend who’s been through it all. And in fact, Dr. Jean Twenge has been through it all—the mother of three young children, she started researching fertility when trying to conceive for the first time. A renowned sociologist and professor at San Diego State University, Dr. Twenge brought her research background to the huge amount of information—sometimes contradictory, frequently alarmist, and often discouraging— that she encountered online, from family and friends, and in books, and decided to go into the latest studies to find out the real story.

The good news is: There is a lot less to worry about than you’ve been led to believe. Dr. Twenge gets to the heart of the emotional issues around getting pregnant, including how to prepare mentally and physically when thinking about conceiving; how to talk about it with family, friends, and your partner; and how to handle the great sadness of a miscarriage. Also covered is how to know when you’re ovulating, when to have sex, timing your pregnancy, maximizing your chances of getting pregnant, how to tilt the odds toward having a boy or a girl, and the best prenatal diet.

Trying to conceive often involves an enormous amount of emotion, from anxiety and disappointment to hope and joy. With comfort, humor, and straightforward advice, The Impatient Woman’s Guide to Getting Pregnant is the bedside companion to help you through it.

Informative, practical and comforting: A must-read for every woman
This book is wonderful: not only an excellent read, it is informative, practical and comforting.

I am the impatient woman this book describes - although very philosophical, relaxed and healthy, I don't want to mess around with "seeing how things go". I have become very tired of reading material, both in books and on-line, which seems to perpetuate what I can only describe as false myths. There are next to no books of this kind written by academics who can pull together scientific facts to portray a real (and comforting) picture of how to get pregnant. The book debunks some very common myths by presenting facts from scientific studies in an easy-to-understand format.

I had just got to grips with OPKs and basal charts, when I got hold of this book. I have read and re-read it a number of times in my TTC journey. It's to-the-point, detailed, scientifically backed up and most of all, just comforting. I cannot reiterate how reassuring it is to read a book written...
Just okay

I'd recommend ordering the "Taking Charge of your Fertility" book over this one. I read the "Taking Charge" book when I was trying to get pregant with baby number one. I got pregnant after three months. When it took a little longer with baby number two and I had already re-read it, I ordered this book hoping it might have some other helpful tips for getting pregnant quickly. It refers to the "Taking Charge" book and provides other pretty basic tips that you could find online with a simple google search. Sorry... I just didn't find it that informative.

The only pre-pregnancy book I should have bought!
I hate to admit I bought at least a half dozen other books on pre-conception when my husband and I started thinking about starting a family. I am a real planner/researcher by nature and couldn't help myself from wanting to read everything ever written about pregnancy prep in the year or so before I was ready to actually start trying.

Well, let me save you some time and money: just get this book and read it cover to cover! That's all you need! If you're an over-achiever (or just like knowledge, like me) you should also get Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, and then you'll really be armed with tons of information. I honestly think TCOYF should be standard issue to every girl on her 18th birthday--I aced high school anatomy and college biology, and dutifully went to yearly OB-GYN check-ups for twenty years, and yet I learned SO MUCH about my own body that was somehow new to me at age 35, just by reading TCOYF.

How to create a healthier, happier, smarter baby—the breakthrough pregnancy diet and lifestyle plan based on cutting-edge genetic science

Whether you're planning for pregnancy or are already pregnant, this essential prenatal guide draws on the latest genetic research to give you a complete program of specific nutrition and environmental lifestyle changes that can help you have a better baby. The book is based on the emerging science of epigenetics and shows how the environment interacts with your genes, affecting which genes are expressed or ""turned on"". It shows you the important steps you can take to improve preconception nutrition and reduce toxins in your home and body to consciously help your child be healthy, smart, and strong.

• Leverages the latest epigenetics research to help you produce a healthier, smarter, and happier baby with a lower risk of allergies, asthma, and developmental issues
• Shares a specific prescriptive program based on four principles: eating the right foods; taking the right supplements; detoxifying before, during, and after pregnancy; and minimizing stress
• Shows how a woman's health and her environment during pregnancy may have a much bigger impact on her child than was previously thought
• Includes the authors' compelling personal story of developing the Better Baby Plan shared in the book as they had their own better babies

Review :
Good Information but No Citations
I bought this book out of general health interest and less for an immediate baby interest. It is 'quite extreme' for the casual person interested in health improvement. If you are chronically ill or dealing with health problems you are more likely to accept the extremes (and they'll potentially have a bigger impact on your quality of life).

There is a lot of information in this book and if you follow Dave Asprey's blog there are some good additional details here and there that you won't have already heard or seen in his posts. In particular in the areas of toxins and detoxification you'll find more details (or to a degree different information) than that found on his blog or podcast. I finished this book in a couple of days as a result, and took down some good notes on areas to investigate further and potential actions to take to improve my health. If you follow Dave's blog I imagine you'd find it similarly useful.

Some of the new parts to me were:
1. Some...
Great for anyone, not just expectant moms.

This book is so comprehensive, well-written, backed by research, yet easy for the layperson to understand. If you want to conceive, are already pregnant, or are nursing, it's a must read! AND if you are interested in becoming healthier In general and balancing your hormones, follow the recommendations in The Better Baby Book. I am not trying to conceive (yet) but I couldn't wait for the Bulletproof Executive book to come out, so I got The Better Baby Book as a way to get more detailed information in the meantime. After reading it, I realized I have some things to consider before even trying to get pregnant. The nutrition and exercise advice is phenomenal, and the supplement section is one of the best I've seen. Do your family a favor and get this book. (PS No, I don't work for the authors! I'm just really passionate about the importance of getting this information into as many hands and minds as possible.)

FANTASTIC content, missing a piece or 2 though
There is SOO much information out there about what to eat, what affects fertility, fetal development, etc. Most of this information is self-contradictory garbage.

This book is heavily science-based, showing you the research to support the recommended diet, supplements, and environmental changes. Overall, I've made several of the suggested changes to myself (a husband to a pregnant wife) and noted a substantial improvement in how I look and feel - so I am confident that the recommendations are solid.

If you enjoy learning about health and are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant, this book is FANTASTIC.

However, the focus of this book is information, allowing you to make better decisions, but is NOT focused on actual behavioral change. I think the book would be substantially improved with more of a focus on how to actually implement these changes into your life - including a 'biggest bang for your buck' and 'start here' list.

Review :
GREAT BOOK - HORRIBLE COVER

My mother gave me this book when I was expecting my 2nd child. I loved it. It was my bible for the 9 months of pregnancy. This book helped me to decrease my labor time by over 80%. I would highly encourage any new mothers who are afraid to read this (but cover up the cover before you give it to them). This book, even though written by a man, still today is a guide to natural childbirth and helping a woman naturally through the great miracle of humanity. Once you read it, it requires commitment and dedication to the principles it teaches, but I can tell you it is very worth the effort. Working with your body, instead of fighting it, is the fundamental principle. A must read for any woman expecting. Just cover the front cover with paper, that is if you want the expectant mother to read it. ~KS

LOVE this book

Explains the process of labor in such detail. Also dives into how fear works against you, and how you can recognize it. His view on women laboring is extremely respectful and encouraging.
I would even say that, this book would be a good read for someone wanting to support, a lady in labor.
Good book to help prepare for labor.

Very intellectual/technical but repetitive and outdated
I found the intellectual and technical aspects of the writing very educational. I also found the basic explanation of why pain occurs during birth [i.e. fear = pain, no fear = no pain] to be enlightening but that was about all I took from the book and if you read this last sentence, you don't need to make the purchase.

I was hoping to walk away with more ideas on how to manage pain naturally throughout the three stages of labor but in the end, the only explanation was "as long as you aren't afraid, you won't have to deal with pain." I just don't buy this..... I mean, c'mon, you put a picture of a screaming woman on the front cover who is delivering her own baby and then go on to say that labor and delivery can occur without any pain? Oh; I see, you use the term "discomfort" instead, right labor is "uncomfortable" not painful. OK.

In addition, the book tells story after story of the experiences of women who were "forced" to take medical pain relief. I found the...

It's good, but I worry about accuracy.

This book is pretty good. I have already found a question that has the wrong answer. The authors contradict themselves in the rationale which gives the correct answer. It kind of makes me question the accuracy of the book.

Several typos and answer key mix ups (letter doesn't match description) found that was frustrating. Solid content, helpful and concise with good review questions but needs an editor with a more keen eye and attention to detail! Overall, I would still recommend.

I thought this was so well done. Even with minor mistakes, able to present the information in an orderly fashion. I loved the explanations and concise presentation. Passed my CNM boards for the first time, and besides a robust education, I contribute this review book to my success. Going to sit for the NCC bards in a few months and will go back to this book for a refresher! Whenever their was a topic I was unsure of, I made sure to go back to my supporting text. Great self study resource, even down to the opening chapter. Well done!

These days, many mothers-to-be find themselves torn between the desire for a natural childbirth with minimal medical intervention and the peace of mind offered by instant access to life-saving technology that only a hospital can provide. In Natural Hospital Birth, doula Cynthia Gabriel asserts that there is no good reason that women in North America should not be able to have both. She shows expectant mothers what they can do to avoid unnecessary medical interventions and how to take initiative and consciously prepare for the kind of birth they want to have. Also included are inspiring stories from other women who know firsthand that natural birth in the hospital is possible. With this book, mothers-to-be will be equipped with the knowledge they need to ensure a satisfying hospital birth that they will look back on with peace and joy.

Review :
hesitant to commit to natural birth? read this book!
Where to begin?? I have one child and am expecting another in a few months. My first labor and delivery was not natural by any means. It was a very typical American hospital birth with plenty of intervention. I didn't find the experience particularly empowering at all. When I found out I was pregnant this time, I started considering the idea of a natural birth. I really didn't think I could do it. My OB said things like "just be flexible, you might change your mind" and "you don't have to be a hero." I doubted my ability to do it without drugs!

Funny that once I picked up this book, I saw Cynthia Gabriel mentioning some of these exact comments I got from my OB as a sign that one's provider was not open or supportive of natural birth. As I read the book, I became more empowered and confident that I could in fact have a natural labor and delivery. And as I was re-reading the book in my 7th month of pregnancy, I decided that I wouldn't have it any other way and set out to...
Best chance to have exactly what the title describes - read this book!
As an L&D nurse, turned doula, turned CNM-to-be, I was skeptical about this book to say the least. I've worked in some of the most medicalized environments you can find in the childbirth world, and I know first-hand all the tricks the hospital staff will use to accomplish their goals while potentially robbing the mother of her own. The terms "natural", "hospital", and "childbirth" don't belong in the same sentence with what I've seen in my experiences over the past 8 years. I'm not sure what I expected this book to be, but I'll say I was so very pleasantly surprised. As I begin my midwifery training, I'll say for full disclosure's sake, I want to work as far away from a hospital (theoretically, not physically) as I can. However, this book is a great tool for women who do still desire to give birth in a hospital but without unnecessary medical interventions. Granted, once you set foot in a hospital, there is a decent risk that things might be done to you that you don't want, but this...
Extremely disappointed
I had high hopes for this book after seeing all of the positive reviews, but as I read this book I went from feeling a little disappointed to being almost angry at the book by the end. I am a birth doula and I bought this book in hopes of picking up some ideas to help my clients who want/have to have hospital births and still want natural births. I didn't get that at all- and I would even go so far as to recommend that the mommas NOT read this book. I'll try to use some quotes from this book to illustrate what I didn't like.

The first thing I took issue with is the overall tone of this book. Basically it says that in order to get a natural birth in a hospital you just have to stand your ground, tell the doctors that you want a natural birth, and keep asking for "one more hour". This may work well if the staff really is pushing for interventions based on scheduling, doctor preference, etc (as does happen unfortunately), but what about situations where there really is a...

Here is the 4th edition of the classic book on home birth that introduced a whole generation of women to the concept of natural childbirth. Back again are even more amazing birthing tales, including those from women who were babies in earlier editions and stories about Old Order Amish women attended by the Farm midwives.

Also new is information about the safety of techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, information on postpartum depression and maternal death, and recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives.

From the amazing birthing tales to care of the newborn, Spiritual Midwifery is still one of the best books an expectant mother could own. Includes resources for doulas, childbirth educators, birth centers, and other organizations and alliances dedicated to improving maternity care at home and in hospitals.

Review :
birth as inspiring and ecstatic
When I was pregnant with my first baby, what I hungered for were real stories of birth, and especially positive stories, because these are so rare in our medicalised birth culture. My copy of Spiritual Midwifery is a dog-eared third edition, but it's been a great companion to me through the homebirths of my four babies, reassuring and reminding me how simple and ecstatic birth can be.

One reviewer could not believe that all the stories in Spiritual Midwifery could be so positive; I refer her to my article on Ecstatic Birth, which details the scientific evidence for birth ecstasy as our hormonal blueprint for labour, first published by Mothering and expanded for my book "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: a Doctor's Guide to Natural Birth and Early Parenting Choices". (Read the article on my website [...]) It's the plethora of interventions that make birth unpleasant- and not necessarily safer, as I document

Another reviewer response- Ina May recommends drinking...
Well... WANTED to like it more than I did...
I'm a student midwife and Ina May is revered in the 'birth world' I exist in. This book is- as the many reviews can attest to- almost a Bible of natural child birth and the regeneration of midwifery practice in the US. My understanding is that I am reading the most current version of this book...

The good: Getting to hear and see pictures of many families who went through their births on the Farm was great. I am very interested in birth stories and the internal mechanisms that women/families use to cope with birth. Also, I very much enjoyed finding several stories about loss and unexpected outcomes. It's wonderful to see these kinds of stories and occurances shared for others to use as a map through a similar circumstance. Sometimes, you've never met anyone who's had a loss. Knowing you're not the only one who's felt the way you do is an amazing comfort. Another positive of this book were the stories about the Amnish women who had Farm midwives attend their births. The...
Good news: vibes are real
I think I'm the first _man_ to review this book. In a way that's kind of sad, but hey, I don't mind going first, fellas. Besides, I've reviewed just about everything of Stephen Gaskin's I could find, and it's about time I reviewed Ina May's book.
And here in Ohio we've got a Mennonite midwife named Freida Miller who's doing time in prison. Why? Because she saved the life of a birthing mother by giving her prescription medication without a license. Worse, she's not even in prison for dispensing the meds; she's in prison because she refuses to reveal the name of the doctor who _gave_ her the meds in the first place. This displeases me and causes me to question the legal and pharmaceutical establishments even more than I already did, which is a lot. So consider this review my little blow for the revolution.

Review :
The best book for new twin moms and twin moms-to-be

I have read a LOT of books on how to survive your first year with twins and this is by far my favorite. I really like the balance the author found between providing truly helpful advice and personal stories of being in the trenches. She has a great sense of humor and will make you bust out in laughter more than once, but her voice is also very warm and conversational. Like you're chatting with your wise mom-friend who's "been there, done that" and is ready to dish everything you need to know. I just survived my first year with twins and I wish this book existed sooner! Even if your babies are already here and you may be past the first few months, I still think it's a worthwhile read for the advice on sleep training and also on marital issues (something that most twin books I read didn't really cover in depth... the advice she gives is very helpful to me even after their 1st birthday...)

Great tips; left me feeling happy

A quick, enjoyable read. This book offered practical tips that seem like they'll be very helpful once my twins arrive, and didn't leave me terrified. I can see myself returning to this book many times to refresh as my babies progress through their first year.

I love my daughters to death but after having twins I ...

There is really nothing wrong with this book in itself. But I read eight books about having twins and none of them remotely prepared me for the amount of work twins are. I love my daughters to death but after having twins I think a single baby would be a cake walk. There is no book I could find that really prepares you for your experience and I doubt such a book exist.

Review :
The New Go-to Guide for Pregnancy!

This book is fantastic!!! I bought it for my cousin who just became pregnant and it will be my go-to gift for all my expectant friends and family. If you can't have Lori by your side during your pregnancy, then this book is the next best thing. It is a all-encompassing book that will help any expecting mom feel grounded, connected to her baby and lay the foundation for a healthy pregnancy. I love the recipe for Lori's LaborAde, the easy-to-follow checklists, diagrams for prenatal yoga poses and tips for eating healthy on a budget, plus anything else you would need to know but not the typical info you find in other pregnancy books!

The Mindful Mom -to -Be is a go to guide and support system for one of the most important times of a woman's life.

Creating a supportive and healthy foundation mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically is so important during any life change or transition. This is even more important in embarking on the 'Path of Motherhood. A healthy foundation always starts with 'us' personally; however we don't always know how to develop and maintain this foundation. Lori Bregman in her book: "The Mindful Mom-to-Be not only outlines this for us, but acts as supportive partner via her health information, life advice, natural remedies, mind-body exercises, meditation; as well as the vast practical experience she has from being a practicing Doula. You can see why she is not only so sought after, but that her book is considered one of the 'must reads' for not only mothers, but any woman embarking on new level of growth.

... working with Lori as my doula and I can't recommend her enough

I have first hand experienced working with Lori as my doula and I can't recommend her enough! Her book is full of wonderful tips and advice for the mom to be. As a new mom I had no idea what to expect and Lori was a wealth of knowledge, love and resources.
