Childbearing Year

I actually haven't read this book but I love Susun Weed. I followed her advice like a bible when I went thru menopause. I gotta believe she knows what she knows.

I really like this book, the way it is formatted and the tone in which it is written. However, this book has not been updated since 1990 and it really needs to be. I believe it is also currently out of print as I just did a search to see if there was an updated edition on amazon.com and there were only 2 copies of this book for sale!

That being said, there is a treasure trove of good, earthy, folky, herb and natural based medicine in here for the time when a woman needs it most - when wanting to get pregnant, while pregnant, post-partum, and care of the newborn.

Addtionally, there is a small section on herbal birth control.

Highly recommended to all doulas, midwives, and all those interested in as natural a pregnancy and childbirth as possible! ( )
