The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth

From the creator of Mama Natural—the web’s #1 most popular pregnancy blog and YouTube channel for natural living—comes the first ever week-to-week pregnancy book for expectant moms who want to embrace natural pregnancy and an empowering natural childbirth.

For the last half-century, control over childbirth has been in favor of doctors. Many pregnancy guidebooks are conventional, fear-based, and written by male physicians deeply entrenched in the old-school medical model of birth.

But change is underway. A groundswell of women are taking back their pregnancy and childbirth and embracing a natural way. Genevieve Grace, the woman behind the enormously popular Mama Natural blog and YouTube channel, has created an inspiring, fun, and informative guide that demystifies natural pregnancy and walks mom through the process one week at a time.

Mama Natural’s Week to Week Guide to Pregnancy is the modern (and yet ancient) approach to pregnancy and childbirth. “Natural” recognizes that pregnancy and birth are normal, and that having a baby is a wondrous biological process and rite of passage—not a medical condition. This book draws upon the latest research showing how beneficial and life-changing natural birth is for both babies and moms.

Full of weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy, Grace details vital nutrition to take, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions.

Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds (and all stages of their natural journey) along with advice and insights from a Certified Midwife Nurse. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, Mama Natural’s Week to Week Guide to Pregnancy will be an essential companion for women everywhere to embrace natural pregnancy and reap all the benefits for both baby and mama.
