Childbirth experts Tracy Wilson Peters and Laurel Wilson guide you through each stage of development with advice for providing consistent and nurturing care as your baby grows, so that you can ensure that every need is always met. From the moment your child is conceived to the day of delivery, The Attachment Pregnancy shows you how to strengthen your bond and give your baby the best life possible from the very beginning.

Loved this book. It’s the first book that I’ve read that talks about how your baby feels your emotions in utero! So cool to me. Lots of books talk about how what you consume goes to baby and how much you exercise effects baby and birth but this was a whole new perspective on baby FEELING what you feel.

I won’t lie, it definitely felt overwhelming at times. I’m a highly emotional being and I did think to myself, did I already ruin my child in utero?! But once I put it into perspective, the fear went away and I’m now able to intentionally send good “vibes” to my little dude in a very intentional way.

My friend Dena gifted this to me while I was pregnant. Since then, I have referred/gifted this book to my fellow pregnant friends. It was that good!

It gave me clear direction, helped guided me and grounded myself to figure out who I wanted to be apart of our village. Not to mention, Dena is such a great friend as well so I think this was a bonus of the book.

Some of it got to be bit overwhelming.

Surprised

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. many of the activities and concepts are beneficial for all life seasons, not just the prenatal time.

I found the book very insightful but it drove me crazy that the authors refuse to site their sources!

The book contains some interesting ideas, I found especially the part about labour useful. Overall it contains a lot of repetition, which made me skip through pages.
