Book Reviews of The Whole Pregnancy Handbook : An Obstetrician's Guide to Integrating Conventional and Alternative Medicine Before, During, and After Pregnancy

Book Review: the only book i should have had during pregnancy
Summary: 5 Stars

during my pregnancy, i drove myself crazy trying to learn everything that i could about what was happening in my body and the differences between conventional medicine approaches vs complementary med. i could have saved myself a lot of trouble by only reading this book and spending the rest of my time doing yoga and walking the dog. :-)
