Susun Weed is a respected and highly knowledgeable herbalist of many many years. [Check out her Wise Woman University to learn so much more...not about her but FROM her.]I birthed all four of my children at home without drugs, without extreme measures, and even through some tough outer stressors....with Susun Weed's The Childbearing Year on my bedside table, the kitchen counter, in the diaper bag, the car... basically "to hand" because one never knows when the wisdom of an experienced elder might be needed, especially when pregnant.Susun uses a very readable style to keep your interest. And of course the book is arranged so that you can go straight to the section pertinent to your current circumstances. Susun's writing style invokes a calm sense of balance by setting up the many possible solutions in a logical and progressive pathway through each section or condition discussed. The reader gets to stay with the simplest solutions or can choose to move on to more powerful solutions. She is vigilant to sharing responsibly, so that you the reader can make the decision of trying alternatives and/or when you should bring conditions to your primary provider's attention.I wish I could express this more succinctly...all I can say is: if you prefer to avoid overly pharmaceutical measures and invasive procedures and are choosing to maintain your good health all the way through, from pre-conception to pregnancy to birth and on to the "fourth trimester" of breast feeding and returning your body back to pre-pregnancy state, this book is an excellent guide to keep you on track with all the details. And the writing is like sitting with your grandmother sharing stories while being very informative. Susun is a brilliant and experienced teacher.And if you are reading because you or a loved one is including a new one soon, Congratulations! ;)
5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable wisdom for women
Get this book. Then gift it to a woman who needs it, then repeat.This book is the main reason why I had the mental and physical preparation necessary to have a pain-free, natural home birth and a rapid rebound after. I still use herbal formulas in this book to support my health 12 years later.I've purchased and given away at least 8 copies of this book to friends & family.If you're interested in supporting your health as a woman, whether pregnant or not, I can't recommend this book (or her others) enough. Susun offers sound, nutrition-centric recipes and herbal formulas that are safe and supportive of overall health, while bringing us back in touch with the wild (FREE), native plants that surround us. Her "herbal ally" philosophy is one we'd all benefit from adopting.

So this is the type of book you have to read and take away from it what you need. Used it with my first pregnancy and had an intense but fast natural birth with barely any bleeding. I also healed up quite fast and had no symptoms of depression. I used the recommended herbs to help bring up my milk supply (which was initially not enough to feed my daughter), and used it to help heal the damage caused by a bad latch. Recommended hers to help lower another friends supply after she was overproducing- also worked. I highly recommend this book to all moms that are interested in having a natural healthy pregnancy. Several of my friends purchased this book for themselves after looking over mine (also resulting in great births-fyi) I haven't tried all the remedies in this book, but the ones I have tried worked.
5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have! Get it on your shelf now!
This book is a MUST have for those planning pregnancy, pregnant, postpartum, or mentoring mothers! Great gift idea also for expecting mothers! Get it on your bookshelf now!

My daughter just gave me a new granddaughter, she already has 1 boy. My other daughter has 2 boys. I feel like the best thing I can do for them as a mother is give them their copy of this book. It has helped me answer questions that I have had 30 some years ago. Thank you Susan Weed for being compelled to write to women and let us know things about our bodies and answer out questions. Thank you for being a true grandmother to all of us your sisters and to Grandmother Earth. Can we look forward to another Series No.2 in this collection? I only wish that I had this book 7 years ago because there were so many questions I could not answer. And you have helped us become closer. There were questions they wanted to ask me, but couldn't and by letting them read this book they are able to get those questions answered. You certainly have brought this family of women together. Now I feel in my soul we can go on to become the wise women we are supposed to be.Blessed Be!Rebecca Clark

There's a lot of useful information in this book, from diet and exercise recommendations for preventing numerous pregnancy discomforts and ailments, to herbal preparations to help labor along, to methods for preventing and treating common newborn problems. I haven't actually had a baby myself, but there are herbal preparations for raising blood iron levels which I have used successfully. (I found those in other sources originally, but I can attest to their effectiveness.)The author even provides detailed instructions for making numerous herbal remedies for common pregnancy and childbirth-related, and newborn ailments. This is a great book to refer to if you want to try to avoid pharmaceuticals (which can often be too strong, have problematic side effects, or be contraindicated in pregnancy) for any of these problems, or if you're just interested in learning things you can do for yourself without visiting a doctor or pharmacy.There is a small amount of woo-woo stuff (telling you to sit and listen to the plants before picking, or recommendations to put up tinctures under a full moon, etc.) I found this a little off-putting, but it's fairly easy to ignore that and just take the information you find useful.

This is an excellent book even though there are some parts of it I might not go along with myself, the main of it is excellent and would make a nice gift for any expecting mother or young couple planning a family. I also bought copy for my friend who was having a baby she was very glad of it. And since had a wonderful baby girl.
