Now, Genevieve Howland, the woman behind the enormously popular <i>Mama Natural </i>blog and YouTube channel, has created an inspiring, fun, and informative guide that demystifies natural pregnancy and walks moms through the process one week at a time. <p/>In this revised and updated edition, Howland includes the latest research and weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy, detailing vital nutrition information, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions. <p/>Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds along with insights from experts including registered nurses, certified midwives, doulas, and lactation consultants. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, <i>The Mama Natural's Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth</i> is an essential companion for women everyw
