Description
- There are meditations for week 5 through week 40 of pregnancy.
- The topics include fetal development, labor, pregnancy, and baby's daily life in utero.

Guide Review - Meditations for Pregnancy
There is poetry in small bits scattered throughout the book. It's just enough to bring a different flavor without becoming a poetry book.
Each week ends with a section called "I will..." giving the mother an active voice in her pregnancy. There are also occasional sidebars with helpful tips.
There is a CD that comes with the book to be used for a guided meditations. The voice is pleasant and the words are really soothing. It's was the music that really turned me off. While it was soft and slow, I found it irritating. With practice I was able to ignore the music and focus on the words. This music will probably appeal to many people as it's a very common relaxation flavor.
This book is the perfect gift for a newly expectant mother-to-be.
