Mama Natural) funny but informational videos have empowered millions of women to embrace natural pregnancy and parenting. Now Howland is turning to the page, offering up the first week-by-week pregnancy & childbirth book from a natural perspective. For the last half-century, control over childbirth has been in favor of doctors. Many pregnancy guides are conventional, fear-based , or written by male physicians deeply entrenched in the medical model of birth. But change is underway . A groundswell of women are taking back their pregnancy and childbirth and embracing a natural way. Genevieve Howland, the woman behind the enormously popular Mama Natural website and YouTube channel, has created an inspiring, fun, and informative guide that demystifies natural pregnancy and walks mom through the process one week at a time. The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth is the modern (and yet ancient) approach to pregnancy and childbirth. "Natural" recognizes that pregnancy and birth are normal, and that having a baby is a wondrous biological process and rite of passage--not a medical condition. This book draws upon the latest research showing how beneficial and life-changing natural birth is for both babies and moms. Full of weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy, Howland details vital nutrition to take, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions. Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds (and all stages of their natural journey) along with advice and insights from a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) plus a Registered Nurse (RN) , doula, and lactation consultant. Encouraging, well-researched, and fun, The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth will be an essential companion for women everywhere to embrace natural pregnancy and reap all the benefits for both baby and mama. Review: I purchased a Kindle copy for my personal use and will definitely be buying others to give away as gifts– it’s just THAT awesome - My first run-in with Mama Natural took place on Pinterest. We’ll call it an e-meeting of sorts. I’m always pinning useful information for later and Mama Natural has LOTS of it! Prior to reviewing this book, I completed the Mama Natural Birth Course as part of my Doula Certification work and it is also– AMAZING First and foremost, I love rich color and an easy to read text— this book had all of that. Secondly, It has great illustrations— and not just the typical diagrams you would expect to see in a pregnancy planning book. There are illustrations of the author and her spouse, example mothers, some of the diagrams you would expect, and even illustrations of sample meals that one might try to prepare to switch up their weekly routine. I would also like to highlight here that the images are drawn illustrations– not just photographs (though I’m not opposed to photos)– that gave it a really personal touch to me. If you read a good number of these books, you become accstomed to seeing certain photos and images and this was a nice change of pace. It includes a week-by-week guide to pregnancy and childbirth from a natural perspective. I shared a bit of my personal testimony of wanting to eliminate as many commercial medications and medical interventions as possible in one of my older posts. It is important to me that I seek out knowledge to prepare myself for a natural pregnancy and to support my friends and family who are currently having babies and who desire to do so naturally. KNOWLEDGE is POWER! Her week-by-week tips include some of the most practical and helpful information I’ve seen. It was like having all of the best Pinterst Pins in one place! There are recipes, affirmations, and useful tips — like how to use your existing wardrobe throughout pregnancy and when/how to decide if any items are worth adding to your collection. The book doesn’t stop at the week-by-week tips and advice for during pregnancy, it also includes labor and post partum and one part that I thought was very important was that pregnancy loss was included. As someone who is both a trained Social Worker and Doula, I understand that loss and post partum symptoms are often two big “elephants in the room.” Many are uncomfortable with discussing with them and if a mother experiences either (or both) she can be left feeling isolated and with no recourse. One of the greatest way to overcome the stigma is to talk about these issues— these births matter and mothers who experience post partum symptoms (baby blues, depression, etc.) are not alone and are STILL good mothers!I’ll stop there, before I get all the way up on my soapbox. Long story short, I really love this book. I purchased a Kindle copy for my personal use and will definitely be buying others to give away as gifts– it’s just THAT awesome! I highly recommend that you add it to your collection if you’re in the market for this type of book. It could also make a great gift for soon-to-be or future mothers in your life. Review: My Favorite Pregnancy Book So Far - I’m recently pregnant, and a friend recommended this book to me after I had already started reading a few other pregnancy books. This one has easily been my favorite. What I love most is how approachable and enjoyable it is to read. The illustrations are beautiful, the information is easy to follow, and it doesn’t feel like I’m reading a medical textbook. I also have the Mayo Clinic pregnancy book, which has a lot of useful information, but I find myself reaching for this one much more because it feels warmer, more engaging, and easier to read week by week. I actually look forward to reading each new section as my pregnancy progresses. It gives you plenty of information without making everything feel overwhelming. I’m really glad my friend recommended it and would definitely recommend it to other expecting moms. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #46,075 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #41 in Pregnancy & Childbirth (Books) #67 in Motherhood (Books) #334 in Parenting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,572 Reviews | ## Images ![The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zE4dcvUaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased a Kindle copy for my personal use and will definitely be buying others to give away as gifts– it’s just THAT awesome *by F***N on June 14, 2017* My first run-in with Mama Natural took place on Pinterest.

This one has easily been my favorite. What I love most is how approachable and enjoyable it is to read. The illustrations are beautiful, the information is easy to follow, and it doesn’t feel like I’m reading a medical textbook.

I’m really glad my friend recommended it and would definitely recommend it to other expecting moms. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the real pregnancy book you've been looking for! *by J***H on July 27, 2026* This book actually changed mine and my family's life. My pregnancy, labor, and how I raised my kids was just going to be how I thought everyone else did it. A friend gifted me this book and soon after, I threw away my "What To Expect When You're Expecting" book that I was only holding onto just because I thought that was the main option for advice. I didn't like how almost solely mom-focused it was, whereas the Mama Natural book is beautifully focused on advice for what's best for both baby and mama. It's so empowering to learn how you can give your baby the best options for them, since they are my priority in the pregnancy and beyond anyway! Mama Natural gives the best balance of offering the conventional approach and the more natural approach in a way that's not judgmental, but purely informative, and helps you feel empowered to make the right decision for your baby and family. This book has been with me for 5 years and 2 pregnancies, and I still talk about it often (even today it came up!). I recognize this is what opened my eyes to the "natural" world and I am so grateful for how confident I feel in my family's health - all from learning how to prioritize that kind of lifestyle when we can. P.S. I keep 2 copies. 1 for me for the recipe access (we've used them over and over again!) and a second to let my pregnant friends borrow! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Mama Natural Week-by-Week Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth - Ina May's Guide to Childbirth "Updated With New Material" - Real Food for Pregnancy: The Science and Wisdom of Optimal Prenatal Nutrition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/41947891-the-mama-natural-week-by-week-guide-to-pregnancy-childbirth](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/41947891-the-mama-natural-week-by-week-guide-to-pregnancy-childbirth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
