Using this for 2nd pregnancy and wish I had it for the first!
So far this is the best holistic pregnancy guide I’ve found on the market! No fear inducing language, beautiful illustrations and clearly written from a ton of experience for a variety of pregnancy situations. On my second pregnancy and I wish I had this for my first. It’s thoughtful and acknowledges non tradition situations. I also found it very helpful to have short yoga routines that I can find the time for daily even while chasing after a toddler. It covers mind, body and soul with mindfulness journaling and yummy recipes. I’ve started purchasing these for my friends each time someone new is pregnant.

Beautiful, supportive and informative pregnancy accompaniment!
This book is a beautiful accompaniment for the pregnancy journey. It outlines what is happening week by week, gives nutrition and recipe suggestions, yoga poses and so much more. There is some interesting information offered that the author has gleaned over the years related to pregnancy. It also provides writing prompts to help you really tune into yourself and the baby throughout the pregnancy which is the most improvement thing any woman can be doing during her pregnancy.Kudos to the author Corrine Andrews. This is a must have for all mamas to be.

Love it
I loved reading the stories! So insiteful and alot of ideas on how I'm going to birth my baby this go around. Hospital births can be violent. I feel confident in myself and able to advocate for myself better after reading this book. Must read for any pregnant woman.

Perfect book, even for loss moms!
I have a hard time with "normal" pregnancy books because I lost my first two babies in the first trimester and some books have language that just doesn't speak to me for that reason. This book is fantastic and addresses lots of normal things, but also gives grace with trauma. It's been my favorite thing to read when I'm feeling anxious!

Informative, Sweet, Loving & Approachable Pregnancy Journal that goes beyond the surface!
There are so many reasons why Birthing Mama is a wonderful pregnancy companion. I love that it's unlike most pregnancy journals I've come across in that it truly provides deep insight into the changes and developments for both mama and baby. I also loved the informative, easy to follow exercises whether it was different yoga poses, yummy and nutritious recipes or creative exercises. I never felt overwhelmed by the prompts, if anything, it was inspiring and motivating. I definitely recommend for any mama to be whether it's your first or third pregnancy :)

For Anyone Giving Birth, Including Birthing New IDEAS
I bought this book to inspire creativity in my personal growth. While this book is certainly a helpful guide to giving birth to a child, it is also a great reference on how to care for yourself if you are undergoing a spiritual awakening. During the process of awakening, you are consistently giving birth to your truest self and the exercises and lessons in the book translate well in that sense.

This is a valuable asset for women who are pregnant, or for those who support women through this experience. The author lovingly provides insight into creating a supportive and healthy experience for each week to meet the changing needs. The reader will find a wealth of information and guidance. I highly recommend this book!

Meh…it’s like super WEIRD
It’s weird and I’m into all the hippie stuff but half of the passages are like find your inner self and reflect on how you feel about your third eye while dancing in a circle. Ok that’s not an exact quote, but like 90% of the prompts I couldn’t respond to bc I didn’t even understand what in the world they were talking about. Save your money. Buy a Lamaze book and go through the lessons, I’ve found that to be more helpful.I mean the pictures say it all in my opinion…if you know what the author is talking about go ahead and buy this book…but for the rest of us…in the famous words of Biden, “just don’t”.

Uplifting and Crafted with love
This book is ideal for first time mothers/parents/and birthing partners alike. This book contains an abundance of wisdom, along with self care practices, recepies, yoga, journal prompts and statements to help you reflect and hold space for yourself. If you are drawn to this book, I would say purchase it!It is great for creative and sentimental parents and its truly inspiring. I like that there are some prompts and reading before you receive a positive pregnancy test so you can begin the journey with intention.
