This book was recommended by my midwife during my pregnancy. The author has a way with words, what would normally be a somewhat boring topic is very intriguing in this book. The information it contains is invaluable and I would recommend this book to all women in their childbearing years as a guide to a healthy pregnancy.

i can not tell you how important this book is.......
aviva is filled with wisdom.all of my friends have borrowed this book-the nursing tea is absolutly vital- whilist you are pregnant and so important to help keep up with my milk supply now that my son is 4 months old....and a huge eater...i am so pleased to find it on amazon i am sending it now to a dear dear friend!

I am a novice herbalist, not an expert by any means, but herbs are definitely my first choice when it comes to helping me or my family's body's deal with infection, boosting health, etc. However, when it came to pregnancy I was stumped with what was safe and what is not. This book really answered a lot of questions as to what is great to take to nurture the pregnancy as well as what to take if there are problems encountered. I was also VERY impressed and influenced by Romm's perspective on women taking back their right to deal with their pregnancy as a natural occurrence rather than the way western medicine deals with it almost as a sickness. In addition this book inspired me to utilize the help of a midwife rather than a M.D. during my next pregnancy. I absolutely recommend this to women who are seeking to be pregnant or are already pregnant and wish to utilize alternative natural means to aid your pregnancy.

I enjoyed this book and it was a great help. From wondering what was going on, if it was normal to how to treat constipation and other pregnancy ills naturally. Also very informative to know which herbs are helpful and which to avoid.
