Kelly Nash (verified owner) –
I was lent this book during my twin pregnancy. It became an amazing way to empower myself and manage a challenging pregnancy. I am just so grateful for the years of knowledge that has been brought together in such an assessable way. Even though my kids are now 21 I had to buy the book so that I could also pass it on and help future mothers make informed choices, which may include my own children’s pregnancies and choices. It also just has a huge wealth of health knowledge that can be applied even if you are not pregnant! Thank you so much for making this available.
Tamarin –
Thank you Kelly for your review. I’m so pleased that Joan’s book is just as relevant for you today as it was during your pregnancy. There’s so much wisdom in these pages that’s worth sharing with family and friends!
