Review: Mama Glow: A Hip Guide to Your Fabulous Abundant Pregnancy

Pregnant? Want a book that will help you embrace that mama-to-be glow? Mama Glow: A Hip Guide to Your Fabulous Abundant Pregnancy is the perfect guide to go on your nightstand right next to your tattered version of What to Expect.

With a pregnancy outlook that’s much more holistic and natural (rather than treating pregnancy as a medical condition), Mama Glow helps moms-to-be embrace their bellies and be as healthy as possible before, during and after pregnancy. The author, Latham Thomas, is a mother of one and is well-versed in all things maternity. She’s a wellness and birth coach, a yoga teacher and the founder of Mama Glow, a holistic lifestyle hub for women.

Mama Glow not only focuses on fitness and good nutrition during pregnancy (including lots of recipes throughout), but it also touches on getting your head in the right place as well, with tips on stress relief, journaling, affirmations and visualizations. The author gives information on foods that play a part in fertility, as well as good-mood foods for post-pregnancy and breastfeeding. The book is a head-to-toe guide that will take you from before pregnancy and beyond.
