Mommy MD Guides ~ Review and Giveaway ~

As the mother of 3 I long ago stopped reading the books that "they" write.  My number one advice to first time parent's is "trust your instincts and stop listening to them".  I usually am met with questioning looks as they rush off to purchase the next "big" parenting book.  I tried.  Well since people are so keen to have others tell them what they are supposed to be doing, I was intrigued when I was approached to review an new pregnancy and parenting book series.   Honestly, I almost deleted the email because, as I said, I long ago stopped reading such books.  Something made me take a second look at the email, though.



I visited the company's website and was further intrigued.  I have said it before, but I am a semi-crunchy momma.  As such, of the the "main stream" ideals do not mesh with my beliefs.  What I love about the Mommy MD Guide Series by Rallie McAllister, MD, MPH, and Jennifer Bright Reich is that it shows there is no single "right" way to approach pregnancy and parenthood.

Each book is broken into stages, just as you would expect a pregnancy or parenting book to be.  Each stage is briefly introduced by the authors.  Then she goes on to include anecdotes from a variety of doctors.  But wait did I just say I was taking the advice of doctors?  Wouldn't that mean I might as well just as my Pediatrician?  Nope.  Anyone who has been in a group of pregnant women knows that advice will vary widely from doctor to doctor and from discipline to discipline.  The Mommy MD Guide series uses the stories and advice of about about 70 different doctors across all walks of life, all disciplines.  The only thing these doctors have in common is that they, too, are mothers.  Each section contains an assortment of stories directly from these doctors.  These stories serve to show that there is more than one way to do things.  More than one way to get it "right".

Right now there are 2 books in the series:  Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth and Mommy MD Guide to the First Year.  They are also hard at work on the third book in the series: Mommy MD Guide to the Toddler Years.
