It was great until the end

Revisado: 11-07-22

This was really fun and informative to listen to. Too bad it ended with the theory of global warming and mass extinction due to human behavior… I suppose the science of solar flares and exterior universal input on the earth does not matter to streamline scientists. Yes, humans are having an immense negative impact on the earth, and on many species. But I don’t think the final demise is going to come from us.

Very informative!

This was a very informative audiobook. It was also not one-sided and gave two perspectives on the Olmec. I certainly learned a lot of new facts, ideas, and theories.

The best

By far the best parenting book I have heard… and I have heard many, thanks to my half present parents.

Very enjoyable... nature is best!

Revisado: 05-08-19

I really enjoyed this audible production, and only wish it was more in-depth. It really proves the feeling we get from being a nature is real, we really don't need science to prove that, we just need to be mindful and listen.

Sided view

Revisado: 01-21-19

While this book provides lots of research and good information to make decisions on certain topics, it is one-sided and partial for a few topics. I, like the author, pride myself with my academic background, but like any good researcher, it is important to honestly represent all the available research findings, which this book does not do. I also found a couple contradictions in the text and appendices.
I had my first child at the age of 34, home water birth, with a labor of 4 hours, give or take. I had an amazing pregnancy with very little morning sickness, and no complications at birth. I also tore very little and was given an option of an elective stitch, which I took. I bleed very little. I exercised throughout my pregnancy, and was still doing barbell squats two days before giving birth. I also gained 55 lbs, even with the excise. My baby was monitored intermittently while I labored in the tub, and I checked myself to feel how far she was down the birth canal. My second child was born the same, but he came 17 minutes after my water broke. I was likely in labor prior but didn't know it because I have a high pain tolerance. Even with that, the fact that I effaced and dilated so fast caused more pain than with my first. Again, no tearing, minimal bleeding postpartum.
My husband and I, both college-educated, did a lot of research and looked at a lot of studies from all over the world regarding home birth versus hospital birth (against our medical families wishes). By the way, I not a rich white woman like the book indicates is typical for homebirths. We did live 10-15min from a hospital, and our midwife was a certified nurse midwife, with many years of experience, and an educator to other midwife's. For my first pregnancy, I also saw my OBGYN regularly, as she would be my backup. Since she did not agree to this arrangement for my second child, I found another OBGYN who did and worked at our hospital.
If you are looking for mainstream pregnancy information, this is your book. Don't expect to get information outside the basics. Certainly, don't expect to get any information on birthing at home, birthing in a hospital with a midwife, birthing center, water birth, herbal use, etc. It was disappointing that the section on home birth was very limited and felt bias. Also, I really question the belief that you are just as fine if you don't exercise throughout your pregnancy as if you did exercise. Of course, if you're going to a hospital, get an epidural, or have a scheduled C-section, you are clearly not training for a birth experience, you are just going to have a procedure.
I did appreciate that this book presented some level of evidence and then you could make your own choice. I certainly would not be taking any of these drugs for comfort through my pregnancy knowing that there was even a remote chance for birth defects!
it's either 9 months, or potential
lifelong consequences for your child... a very easy choice.
