Recommended reading list
There are so many resources available for learning about pregnancy, birth, and parenting - it can easily feel overwhelming. Some information sources can even be contradictory!
What will resonate with you, and what do you need to know?
In an effort to reduce decision fatigue and aimless scrolling on Amazon, I have curated the below list with titles that I know and trust. This is a continuously evolving list of books that nurture a heart-centered approach to becoming a parent.
I welcome feedback on materials that you like or don’t like, as well as titles you would like to see me add here.
In full disclosure, the categorized and alphabetically-ordered links below are via an Amazon Associate account, so I may make a small commission if you purchase from these links.
