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

LOVE this book!!! I’ve always watched the youtube channel and I’m really glad I got the book. It definitely has a lot of insight on natural birthing and helps you decide the healthier option and how to go about it. This is my first birth and I find it very empowering. This is well needed.

Love Love love Mama Natural!!!! She has so much knowledge and expertise and most important truly has found her passion, helping mamas and their babies be conscious and healthy and live happier lives! She is full of heart, love and pure joy!!!! I wish I had this book with my first son but got one for the second! Thank you so much for taking the time and all your hard work writing this book that will be cherished by moms for years and years!!!!

I followed the author's blog throughout the entirety of my first pregnancy. It was the first place I searched for answers if I had any questions about anything pregnancy related! When I found out she had a week-by-week pregnancy book coming out I couldn't wait to read it! I speedily read the entire thing and loved every bit of it! I didn't have to worry about flipping through mainstream pregnancy books, picking and choosing which parts applied to me. I didn't have to ignore author's obvious bias, and determine to do things my way anyway. This was written for mama's like me! It makes me want another baby so I can read this book again!

A must-buy for anyone considering a natural, homeopathic approach to pregnancy and birth. Howland introduced me to many new and interesting concepts that I hadn't before considered, which gave me the final push to decide on using a midwife and birth center for my delivery. All of her claims are backed up by science.

This book is incredible! I am a home birth midwife and for many years couldn't recommend a pregnancy book to my clients because they were outdated or very medically minded instead of being woman centered. This is not. This is holistic and yet good for any woman - first or 7th baby and hospital, home or birth center plans. It's just good.

I found myself booking marking so many things that the bookmarks became pointless. I think I'll be going back to reference things in this book very often. I've noticed a number of times things seem to be pulled word for word from the author's blog, but that doesn't really bother me since it's handy to have it all in one handy book.

Reading during my first pregnancy here and I personally find theres so much good information about having a successful natural birth and pregnancy! I feel it has helped ease my mind and give lots of helpful insights for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Midwife also said this is a great book. I highly recommend giving this a read to anyone expecting!

This book is what us pregnant mamas have needed! I finally have something that I feel like I can trust as a resource of truth and wellness for my pregnancy. I love the illustrations, the tone of how it is written and the absolute abundance of natural pregnancy information presented. This is a must have for EVERY pregnant woman!

I really enjoyed reading this book week by week during my pregnancy. I didn’t order this book until about 17 weeks, but got a lot of good information from it nonetheless. I’m not super crunchy granola, but I would say lean on the more granola side at times, and this book gave me some good handles for things to ask for and look for that were more on the natural side of things. I definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a natural guide to pregnancy.

Absolutely amazing book for any mama that wants to look into a more natural pregnancy and all around life. We have been making changes for years and when we got pregnant with number 3 I immediately bought this book. It is amazing to have and I love Mama naturals YouTube so was so excited she published this!!

Refreshing. Practical. Encouraging. Realistic. This book is a must read for anyone thinking about having a baby, anyone who is pregnant or who knows someone who could benefit from more knowledge about our bodies, our choices, our babies. I love the information, Genevieve covers it all in such a genuine, funny, realistic way that's not over my head, scary or discouraging. Information can be empowering and comforting and this book does that. I'm pregnant with my 4th baby and I learned so much. It gave me the final push to pursue a homebirth. Thanks, Genevieve. Mamas, you'll really
Like having this to reference back to or to read cover to cover right when you get it. :)

The breakout pregnancy guide for the modern mama!! It is especially great for those seeking a more natural birth experience and to minimize interventions during pregnancy and birth. The book is very informative, easy to read and filled with beautiful illustrations! IT IS THE BEST PREGNANCY BOOK OUT THERE! I wish there had been a book like this for my first 3 pregnancies!

Awesome book.... I have been telling everyone i know that's pregnant or trying to get pregnant this is definitely a must read.... it's the what to expect when you're expecting for a new generation.... hoping she comes out with a childcare book too.

I absolutely LOVE this book, I cannot rave about it enough. I have suggested it to every pregnant mom out there. Very informative and unbiased with a great amount of great ideas for food and such. The go to book for sure!!!

I have several pregnancy books but was super excited when I came across this one recently. I ordered it and when it arrived I immediately read 170+ pages to catch me up to week 17. I love that she's not pushing her "natural" views on you, just making sure you're aware of the other natural ways to do things. I am a pretty "natural" minded person so it was awesome to read about pregnancy in that view. None of my other books are presented like that. Can't wait to read more!

The breakout pregnancy guide for the modern mama, especially those seeking to minimize interventions during pregnancy and birth.

Whether you want a full-on water birth in your living room or just want to eat healthier and more organic, this is the pregnancy guide for you.

Somehow, pregnancy and childbirth have gone from a natural process to a medical event. Genevieve helps turn the tides with her poignant week by week guide on doing pregnancy more naturally.

Finally, a book that speaks to the rising tide of women who want a more natural pregnancy and birth experience. Comprehensive, evidence-based and trustworthy.

This book takes you through each week of pregnancy with all the developmental stages and even has positive affirmations!! It contains recipes too! I love the natural guides to decision making without any judgement for choosing more medical options. This is perfect for the mom who understands that pregnancy and birth is NORMAL and not a disease! You can have a completely unmedicated pregnancy and delivery in many cases!

This book has helped me so much through my pregnancy. I love the recipes and how informative this book is. Not to mention it is very entertaining as well. I look forward to reading about each new week! Definitely buy this book and also sign up for her messenger videos and updates she is awesome!

This book is perfect for anyone who is even remotely interested in having a more natural pregnancy! I was 17 weeks when I got my copy and tore through the first 16 weeks in 24 hours! It's just so good. Each week is filled with incredibly helpful information and is broken down in such a way as to not overwhelm. If you're to get only one pregnancy book - make this the one!

I'm halfway through the book and already in LOVE! My first pregnancy, I followed everything conventional and regret it but THIS pregnancy I am soooo happy to be following a holistic path to a natural pregnancy. This book is GOLD!

This is THE BEST pregnancy book out there. So much great information laid out beautifully! My only regret is that it wasn't out sooner in time for my 1st pregnancy. It is especially fitting fot those natutal and green living mamas. Love the recipes also! Get this book now.

Love this book! Provides wonderful information about ALL your options when pregnant from "natural" to medical. I really enjoyed the affirmations written throughout the book, the recipes, and the information. One of my favorite pregnancy books thus far! Highly recommend!!

My favorite pregnancy book! This was incredibly beneficial during my pregnancy. I loved the weekly chapters of what to expect and the to-do lists were very helpful. It gives natural, earthycrunchy advise without being judgemental about it. It really helped my husband and I prepare for labor and knowing what to expect since we didn't take any classes.

My wife is enjoying this book very much. She says it is a fantastic alternative to the What to Expect type book (she hated that one). This has great suggestions for a healthier, more natural approach to pregnancy and birth. Buy it.

I'm about halfway through this book and halfway through my first pregnancy and this is so helpful. So many things to reference back to. It was really the only comprehensive, week-by-week NATURAL pregnancy book I found. Most are more geared just towards natural labor, but this hits everything along the way, without making you feel like a terrible person on one side or the other of being a crunchy mama. Great resource!

LOVE this book. I appreciate how she covers pretty much everything a concerned mom picks up in her research, even the "out there" controversial topics. I've found that most of her suggestions are things we should all be doing, not just during pregnancy, but all the time, so this book has pretty much become my life goals?. And it's all broken down in easy to digest weekly chapters with checklists at the end!

A great useful book, lots of advice and support. Well-written with an understanding of the subject. We donated all other pregnancy books and just kept this one, as this is the only book we keep reading.

Genevieve's book is fresh, witty, and brimming with the best, up to date information. Her week by week approach is perfectly digestible; and her design is sooo cute and practical. As an expecting mama myself, I read it all the way through as fast as I could. Wherever you are on the "crunchy" scale, I definitely recommend this book!

This book is great. It covers your entire pregnancy from planning pregnancy to after labor and delivery. Genevieve covers aspects of everything you need to think about before your baby arrives. It is great for first time moms and even second time moms. This is my second pregnancy and I'm excited to use some of the information I have learned from this book. It is a must have!

Easy to read, informative. While the focus is on natural pregnancy, there’s no shaming tone. Howland focuses on her experience, information provided by studies, and the opinions of the midwife and doula helping with the text.

Excellent source of naturally-minded information. I started reading when I was 26 weeks pregnant and quickly caught myself up. Like how it is divided into weeks that I can easily pick up and read through. Includes great recipes for each week and a short overview of baby's growth. Very helpful and plan to use as a Congrats gift when friends announce they are expecting :)

You can certainly spend hours on the internet getting this same information or buy this handy book with all the relevant information on natural pregnancy and childbirth all in one place. And Genevieve is not dogmatic about during everything "naturally." She lays out the options, gives her opinion, but makes it clear that the decision is ultimately up to you. Judgment free. And this book is EASY to use. And beautiful. Definitely worth the purchase!

Meh. I am pregnant for the first time. Being brand new to this whole pregnancy thing, I find that this book does not include the basic "pregnancy is like this" content I was looking for. I just want to know if things I'm experiencing are normal, etc. Some chapters are informative, but other chapters are dedicated to stuff like finding maternity clothes or chemical-free strollers with a very brief blurb about the development of your baby on the first page. I am also reading WTEWYE and I like to read both books ahead to see what's coming down the pipeline. I got this book in addition to the WTE because I was afraid WTE wouldn't have good information about natural options. I find that WTE has the content I am looking for, along with all of the options both all-natural and not. so between WTE and googling, I don't have a need for this book.

This book has helped tremendously throughout my pregnancy. While I don't agree 100% with every opinion, it's okay. No two mom's are ever going to agree on everything. I like Genevieve's natural and holistic approach and would recommend.

I have been following Genevieve's blogs and videos for years. Genuine, hilarious, and the girl has done her research! I did 2 natural births myself, but this book would have been amazing to have at the time! She covers everything. Can't recommend this book more.
