The New Go-to Guide for Pregnancy!
This book is fantastic!!! I bought it for my cousin who just became pregnant and it will be my go-to gift for all my expectant friends and family. If you can't have Lori by your side during your pregnancy, then this book is the next best thing. It is a all-encompassing book that will help any expecting mom feel grounded, connected to her baby and lay the foundation for a healthy pregnancy. I love the recipe for Lori's LaborAde, the easy-to-follow checklists, diagrams for prenatal yoga poses and tips for eating healthy on a budget, plus anything else you would need to know but not the typical info you find in other pregnancy books!

The Mindful Mom -to -Be is a go to guide and support system for one of the most important times of a woman's life.
Creating a supportive and healthy foundation mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically is so important during any life change or transition. This is even more important in embarking on the 'Path of Motherhood. A healthy foundation always starts with 'us' personally; however we don't always know how to develop and maintain this foundation. Lori Bregman in her book: "The Mindful Mom-to-Be not only outlines this for us, but acts as supportive partner via her health information, life advice, natural remedies, mind-body exercises, meditation; as well as the vast practical experience she has from being a practicing Doula. You can see why she is not only so sought after, but that her book is considered one of the 'must reads' for not only mothers, but any woman embarking on new level of growth.

... working with Lori as my doula and I can't recommend her enough
I have first hand experienced working with Lori as my doula and I can't recommend her enough! Her book is full of wonderful tips and advice for the mom to be. As a new mom I had no idea what to expect and Lori was a wealth of knowledge, love and resources.

Review :
Best Birthing/Labor book for MOM too!
I've delivered 7 children and am now pregnant with my 8th. WHERE WAS THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY 1st?!?!? Everything the book said the mother would feel was RIGHT on!!! The title is deceiving because it says it is for a "Birth Partner". It would definitely be helpful to them, but I got this book for myself and found it even more educating then I expected.
I especially appreciated that it didn't seem to have a hidden agenda or preference. Having had hospital/epidural births and natural births myself, I can see the benefits of both as each birth is different. I never felt there was an anti-home birth or anti-hospital birth sentiment to it. It was information for BOTH of them.
My favorite part was the detailed What-is-Mom-going-to-feel during _______ stage of labor. Then there were suggestions on how to relieve that, etc.
I highly highly recommend this book. I have read many (SCADS!!!) of birthing books and this is my favorite so far.

My wife expected me to be the birth expert
As a first time dad i wanted to be very much the involved father from the first step. I had taken enough birth and baby caring classes to understand the basics for the new baby to baby. My wife and i wanted to do a (as much as possible) natural birth. This means no drugs and no surgery. Yo go girl! What really scared me was that from everyone i talked with, complications occur and you sometimes had to make a quick decision on limited knowledge on the spot.

This is where i think that Penny did a great job of breaking things down. She has a great background in natural births. So many tips for comforting the mother. Birthing is a marathon. After 20 hours watching my wife go through labor, i could still remember some tips to help her cope. It was great for someone needing to know how the last few hours of pregnancy and the first first hours of newborn life can be,

Thanks for making the book read more like a series of personal accounts vs. charts and studies...
Excellent book, terrible e-book
As a new dad with a now 7-month old son, this book helped me prepare for what my wife was going to go through and give me the tools and confidence to help her through everything she went through. I would recommend this book to all new fathers. HOWEVER, do not get the e-book. There are lots of tables and pictures that do not translate well into the smaller e-book format. Also, as a reference, this is much better used as a physical book.
