 A complete book ( sda1228 )
I am so impressed with this book! It is very complete. There are herbs for every aspect of a pregnant woman's life. Many of the remedies are also good for everyone. There are herbs for fertility, birth control, morning sickness, cramps, mood changes, bladder infections...and the list goes on. They even tell you how to make your own tinctures. Job well done!!

read it over and over while pregnant
this book was the most important tool getting through my first pregnancy. i took raspberry leaf throughout my pregnancy, then squaw vine and cramp bark in my last month. i had a 3 1/2 hour labor with no drugs or procedures! my little girl was so healthy and alert! i don't just say this because i foolishly read the book and tried it with no education to back it up, i am horticulturist and herbalist with 10 years experience. she recommends helpful, healing herbs for pregnancy with great descriptions, dosages, and warnings. as always, do what is comfortable for you but this book can really help if you are looking for a natural childbirth and child-rearing. just make sure you do your research before trying anything, having several opinions can be comforting. i buy a copy for everyone i know is pregnant!

rarely found treasure
It is hard to find some sound documents in English about herbs in this topic. TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) uses herbs and acupuncture to treat patients. To get some knowledge about ancient solution that has been proved over thousands of years, it is not easy. Thanks to the author, some general information about herbs is revealed in this book. Can not wait to see her other books.

A lifesaver....
I'm not well schooled in herbs or home remedies, but this book was a tremendous help to me during my last two pregnancies. There are not just herbal concoctions, but simple, common-sense solutions for everything from pain to depression to lactation issues. When I was struggling with what might have been a premature birth, I consulted this book and was able to halt my contractions, and afterwards continued a healthy, full-term pregnancy. The knowledge you'll find in these pages is priceless.

Great book
I work in a health food store and pregnant women, and women with small children ask me all the time about herbal advice for them- something impossible to find.(Usually at the advice of their doctor) I always remind them that I'm not a doctor and anything they do is at their own risk. That said, what I am is someone who researches herbs and vitamins constantly, and obsessively reads about the side effects and interactions of natural medicine. Because of this book's warnings about herbs, I have informed hundreds of pregnant women about herbs they should be careful with- saffron, parsley, etc. Susun Weed will recommend mild herbs scientifically known for their gentle effectiveness. Also, her advice tends to actually work and have the advantage of thousands of years of experience concerning side effects under its' belt.(And real science- real research done by doctors/scientists- search the herbs recommended in studies done by "The Lancet" for example) Do you want to take ginger tea for your nausea or a prescription?? Well, they're both potentially dangerous-not just the herb. And that's a fact-yeah, herbs can kill you-everyone knows this-and so can drugs-so people should educate themselves about the side effects of EVERYTHING they put into their bodies. When a doctor says a drug is "safe", they don't mean harmless, they mean that the good outweighs the bad or the drug is "relatively safe'. Eating licorice everyday is dangerous...saffron could kill you...
