"Natural Pregnancy: A Pregnant Mother's Guide Book of Natural Remedies for a Natural Pregnancy" by Author Olivia KennedyFirst of all, I love the cover of this helpful guidebook! Secondly, I must admit that it has been a long time since I have been pregnant. From my experience and also the many conversations I've shared with other mothers, a woman seldom forgets a pregnancy or the birth of her babies. With that in mind...I am the mother of three and I can still relate to the content of this booklet.I was approached to read and review this booklet and I after reading the content, I think it is very helpful and gives a bird's eye view of what to expect during a normal pregnancy. Author Olivia Kennedy expertly and gently take the mother-to-be through the ABC's of pregnancy by first explaining the three trimesters of fetus development and what the new mother can expect in her changing body. She also touches base on many other important factors such a diet, exercise, the possibility of a variety of physical changes such as nausea, high blood pressure, and stretch marks etc.Chapters 4 & 5 deal with suggestions for the mother to think about in order to meet both the baby needs and the mother's as well. In other words...what the mother eats and drinks has a direct impact on the fetus growing in her womb. The benefits of probiotics, fresh organic foods, vitamin supplements are just a few of the pointers presented in this booklet.  All of the suggestions found in this guidebook are well-worth addressing. Author Olivia Kennedy has done a fine job in this well-written and easy to read manual which is sure to enlighten the path for a new mother.Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteA Woman's Voice ~ Inspirational Short Stories
