The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth
Description
With 80 million views on her YouTube channel and even more on MamaNatural.com,
Howland’s (a.k.a. Mama Natural) funny but informational videos have empowered
millions of women to embrace natural pregnancy and parenting. Now Howland is
turning to the page, offering up the first week-by-week pregnancy & childbirth
book from a natural perspective. For the last half-century, control over
childbirth has been in favor of doctors. Many pregnancy guides are
conventional, fear-based, or written by male physicians deeply entrenched in
the 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 Howland, the woman behind the enormously popular Mama Natural
website 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. The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth
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, Howland 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 Nurse Midwife (CNM) plus a Registered Nurse (RN), doula, and
lactation consultant. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, The Mama Natural
Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth will be an essential companion
for women everywhere to embrace natural pregnancy and reap all the benefits
for both baby and mama. Read more
