5.0 out of 5 stars Gowri would always be my first choice for baby advice.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2013

With a background on modern medicine as well as Ayurveda, Gowri Motha's approach combines the best of both worlds to glorious effect. I used her Gentle Birth book throughout my pregnancy and had the best experience possible. I felt well and healthy throughout with none of the usual annoying health issues related to pregnancy. I was exercising up until the day before my contractions started too. My baby is healthy and strong and this I can attribute to Gowri's excellent nutrition and supplemental advice. This follow-up book provides an excellent framework for the mother wishing to continue following this excellent advice.

4.0 out of 5 stars i really like this woman!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2009
Verified Purchase
as the title say i like this woman and the advice she gives. I borrowed this and her other book from my library and ended up purchasing this one and photocopying quite alot of the other. Whilst i am a little dubious about some of the homeopathic remedies suggested for some of the more serious ailments for which i would be straight down the docs or to a qualified homeopathic practitioner some of the other suggestions (of which there are many) are great. I am a huge advocate of massage and there is some great advice here although along with most other readers a weekly professional treatment is neither practical or affordable. i have read so many books related to this subject and pregnancy and this is the only one i felt i had to have my own copy for constant reference. i highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I like the fact that it talks in a common sense ...

There are parts of this book that have helped me soo much and been reassuring. I like the fact that it talks in a common sense way and is about how to look after mum as well as baby. Would def recommend. I’m sure it’s partly to thank for my happy relaxed (most of the time) baby boy.
