Review: Sacred Pregnancy

“Growing a baby offers a woman the opportunity to be part of Mother Nature’s mysteries, which directly connects her to the source of all things.” (99) Sacred Pregnancy is a guidebook and journal for pregnant mothers. “The point of this book is to help you feel prepared emotionally, spiritually, and physically to birth your baby and enter motherhood,” says author Anni Daulter.
