Pregnant and wanting to stay healthy in a gentle holistic manner that is completely supportive of your balance and your baby's well being? Susun Weed is a respected and highly knowledgeable herbalist of many many years. [Check out her Wise Woman University to learn so much more...not about her but FROM her.]I birthed all four of my children at home without drugs, without extreme measures, and even through some tough outer stressors....with Susun Weed's The Childbearing Year on my bedside table, the kitchen counter, in the diaper bag, the car... basically "to hand" because one never knows when the wisdom of an experienced elder might be needed, especially when pregnant.Susun uses a very readable style to keep your interest. And of course the book is arranged so that you can go straight to the section pertinent to your current circumstances. Susun's writing style invokes a calm sense of balance by setting up the many possible solutions in a logical and progressive pathway through each section or condition discussed. The reader gets to stay with the simplest solutions or can choose to move on to more powerful solutions. She is vigilant to sharing responsibly, so that you the reader can make the decision of trying alternatives and/or when you should bring conditions to your primary provider's attention.I wish I could express this more succinctly...all I can say is: if you prefer to avoid overly pharmaceutical measures and invasive procedures and are choosing to maintain your good health all the way through, from pre-conception to pregnancy to birth and on to the "fourth trimester" of breast feeding and returning your body back to pre-pregnancy state, this book is an excellent guide to keep you on track with all the details. And the writing is like sitting with your grandmother sharing stories while being very informative. Susun is a brilliant and experienced teacher.And if you are reading because you or a loved one is including a new one soon, Congratulations! ;)

Practical guide and very usable
5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable wisdom for women
Get this book. Then gift it to a woman who needs it, then repeat.This book is the main reason why I had the mental and physical preparation necessary to have a pain-free, natural home birth and a rapid rebound after. I still use herbal formulas in this book to support my health 12 years later.I've purchased and given away at least 8 copies of this book to friends & family.If you're interested in supporting your health as a woman, whether pregnant or not, I can't recommend this book (or her others) enough. Susun offers sound, nutrition-centric recipes and herbal formulas that are safe and supportive of overall health, while bringing us back in touch with the wild (FREE), native plants that surround us. Her "herbal ally" philosophy is one we'd all benefit from adopting.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with this purchase. Every woman should have this resource.
Amazing book! Now that I've had the chance to read this book, I can say that every woman should own one of these books. Especially if they are interested or already active in natural remedies. This book is packed with a whole lot of information. Different chapters in each woman's life comes with a different set or hormonal challenges, as well as nutritional requirements. If you want to listen to your body and take care of it the right way, the natural way, then I would buy this book. It's a great place to start and it's packed with a lot of information, that would take a whole lot of time to research individually. Great for my herbal resource collection. Very well written and easy to understand.
5.0 out of 5 stars All of Susun Weeds books are great for your health!
Another book bought to give to a young woman. Sharing experiences, sharing knowledge that's what older women passed down to other's over the centuries before the modern medicalization of health care by men. Susun Weed books have traveled with me day by day through my ever changing personal journey. I am a better, healthier, more spiritual compassionate person for it...thank you Susun Weed for sharing your knowledge, your experience and your love. When I grow up I want to be just like you...:)Your Menopausal Years saved my life....:)peace
4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, helpful book
Ok, if you aren't a newage-y type you have to skip all the flakey goddess-type stuff in the intro. You get past that and you have an excellant reference for pregnant women. I am a Christian who is interested in holistic approaches to health, esp when pregnant and this is a must have reference in my opinion. You will find stuff in here that no conventional doctor can tell you. For example, the only thing that saved me from heartburn and acid reflux attacks at night when pregnant was to nibble on almonds. What doctor is going to tell you that??? It works like a charm when you feel one coming on and it's good for you. Just one example of many. Anyone interested in herbs will love this book as well. If you want to safely use herbs while pregnant, this book will educate you.This book is a favorite of mine because it has the kind of wisdom that women used to know and share with each other, the kind of wisdom we have begun to lose. It is recaptured here. You and your baby will be healthier for having read it.
5.0 out of 5 stars A gold mine!
I wish I would’ve had this book sooner or as a new mom. It would’ve helped me in so many areas. As a mom of almost 6, this book is a treasure. It lists issues or problems in order from infertility, to preconception, and pregnancy to postpartum years! It’s an absolute gold mine!!! Then it lists recipes and varieties on prepping them and everything, an absolute precious book! Must own and would recommend. I’ve already gifted 2 to new moms.
Woman Herbal
This is an excellent book even though there are some parts of it I might not go along with myself, the main of it is excellent and would make a nice gift for any expecting mother or young couple planning a family. I also bought copy for my friend who was having a baby she was very glad of it. And since had a wonderful baby girl.
Baby related herbs and diet help
This is an invaluable bible for herbal remedy and supplements as well as diet during pregnancy, but has a practical childbearing advice intertwined.
Great Resource!
Really great resource. I consulted it many times during my pregnancy. I like that the format is easy-to-consult in almost bullet-point form, so you can get to the info quite easily. Nice spacing and good info for moms who want to try natural remedies before mainstream methods.
Fantastico
Informazioni chiare, accurate e ben organizzate! Consigliato a tutte le future mamme, ma anche a quelle che già lo sono. Utilissimo infatti anche per il puerperio
extremely helpful and interesting read !
learn a lot about all the natural herbs you can use before, during and after pregnancy. Great tools for contraception as well!
