By Michelle Dunn
"Award winning author, columnist"
Everyone wants to be healthy and especially if they are thinking about having a baby. Sarah Abernathy and Linda Page give you a very detailed book on having the healthiest pregnancy with natural approaches to many pregnancy problems. There is information on herbs you can safely use during pregnancy, information on what to avoid, what you can do to fight fatigue, hemorrhoids, morning sickness, labor pain, stretch marks, swelling and much more. I would highly recommend this book for anyone even thinking about having a baby in the next few years.

A Helpful Book for EveryoneSep 28, 2011
By Shay Johnson This is a great little book. Packed with lots of good solid information about fertility. The herbs the author suggests are right on. I have used many of these herbal formulas with good success over the years working with my clients. The book does talk about the authors unique herbal blends, this is not a sales pitch!
She wrote this book to go along with her products so clients could use this self-help fertility plan on their own. That is what holistic health is all about! Taking control of your own well-being using safe, all natural alternatives to costly treatments. Medical fertility treatments cost tens of thousands of dollars. What the author suggests as a holistic fertility plan costs under one hundred dollars.
Even if you do not plan on buying her herbal blends, the info she gives in this book is awesome and I know you will find it easy to read and interesting. Best $15 bucks you will spend on your fertility journey.

good information in a small bookSep 14, 2009
By Melissa G. Baker I do believe that this book has good practical advice. I purchased it for my daughter who is in the miltary overseas so I cannot be there to help her for paractical advice. The book seems to cover a good variety of subjects with practical common sensical advice. However like everything that Linda Page does there is too many references to her products. which makes the book come across as an advertisment for Linda Page. Her products are good I have checked them out I just do not like informaiton on every page about Linda's products.

Do You Want to Have a Baby?Feb 16, 2009
By D.J. Kleiner Do You Want to Have a Baby? provides information on natural, or holistic, fertility and pregnancy care. This thin book covers a broad range of topics that affect fertility and general health during pregnancy.
The holistic lifestyle has become more mainstream in recent years, but remains controversial to a certain degree. Inevitably women feel guilty when they make any lifestyle choice, especially in regards to pregnancy and childcare. The authors have very thoughtfully only advocated good health, and have avoided any moralizing of healthcare choices.
Since the information is not offered as an alternative to or complement of traditional medicine, the book has universal appeal. The information is offered as "just that" - information. The authors explain the underlying medical conditions and physical changes that occur in plain English. Afterwards, they present holistic approaches, which is the book's focus; however, the authors include information on traditional medical treatments throughout the book. Readers who are interested in learning more about how their bodies function before, during, and after pregnancy will benefit from this book, just as much as the readers who are specifically looking for holistic alternatives.
The information is laid out in a logical manner, starting with assessing fertility status and ending with conditions and issues that arise after giving birth, even providing a bit of information on baby care.
This thin book is thick with information -- trying to remember the information in order to put it into action is overwhelming. The authors attempt to help the reader at certain points in the book, such as including step-by-step fertility diets for men and women. The book would have benefited greatly from more practical aids, such as a table of herbs.
Also, the authors recommend specific products, mostly from the same manufacturer, instead of providing information or a tear-out aid that would help readers when faced with choices at the store. This product placement gave the book an air of sales propaganda, undercutting the authors' authority and motives.
The more information women have about their and their children's health the more powerful they are as advocates of their care. As a beginning reference guide Do You Want to Have a Baby? would be a valuable addition to any lay library.
