Customer Reviews

My book came tore up

obviously it was too big to fit in the mail slot but they stuffed it in there anyway instead of just leaving it at my door! so its all torn up🤦🏽‍♀️ should’ve also been packaged better with bubble wrap or in a letter envelope. It was only $9 so I guess I’ll just keep it. But this is a very important book for my pregnancy & I was going to pass it to my friends. But this book is very informative & useful. I’ll stick to ordering books on amazon

A Must Have for any mom

I was surprised to learn that there aren't more books of this type available for black mothers. But this book may be the only reference guide you need! A very easy read, and so full of useful information that I read it chunks at a time! The historical information is invaluable too. This would make a great gift for a special mom-to-be.

Excellent book for Pregnancy for Black Perspectives

This is an excellent book for Pregnant woman from a Black perspective. From the interesting history side stories to the added stories of black woman any black woman will find this useful throughout their pregnancy and through the first few months with baby.Key things I liked, the section on single moms, down to earth section on going back to work, negotiating leave, creating a budget for the new baby in your life, baby names, and 100% accurate medical information. Paritically on the choices for childbirth, from birthing centers to hospitals and the medications you available now.This a great book I will keep in my reference for my second child.

Excellent book for The Black Family

My wife & I had our first child 15 months ago. We find ourselves referring to this book on many different occasion. From what to do when the baby gets an ear infection to what to expect when weaning baby off of the bottle. A must buy, trust me, you will be glad you did!

a must read for african american women

This book offers information needed for pregnant women but it specifically relates to the african american woman's needs. You can relate to the stories told by these women. The pictures are wonderful. mostly it prepares the woman for what to expect during each month of her pregnancy and birth. Highly recommended.

Easy to read and Informative

It's hard to find books that focus on African American women and our health concerns, this book answers just about all the questions I had as I prepare to conceive. It even has a chapter that focuses on the African American man, which my husband found interesting and reassuring. It's easy to read and has nice anecdotal information about our childbearing history. I highly recommend it.
