From Publishers Weekly

Anyone who's experienced childbirth understands that it may indeed seem a "world... about to be remade... heralded by a great flood." Now imagine embarking on the journey around a holiday table replete with family, friends, piles of food and stories long into the night. Warm and inviting, this Jewish guide to pregnancy and the first three months of life is a beautiful balance not only of soul, mind and body, but of ancient texts and contemporary prayer, folklore and modern medicine. Balanced also are the wide-ranging positions held by the Orthodox, Conservative and Reform movements on topics such as ensoulment, prenatal testing, selective reduction and mourning rituals in the event of miscarriage or fetal death. (While the authors celebrate this time in a couple's life, they are compassionately mindful and honest about the possibility of a less joyful outcome.) For each stage of pregnancy and beyond, they offer meditations, prayers and resources for any number of things that could transpire. Despite an abrupt transition, the book's yoga portion is enticing. Rapp makes yoga seem accessible to anyone, from seasoned marathoners to couch potatoes. Clear instructions, accompanied by photos for both early- and late-stage pregnancy, come with equally clear warnings about who should attempt which positions when. Though nurturing throughout, the book lacks any sort of conclusion, leaving the reader suddenly feeling like a favorite uncle has sneaked out the back door without saying goodbye. Although disappointing, ultimately this omission detracts very little from a delightful and spiritual celebration of life's beginnings.

Review

"A superb contribution to the field of pregnancy, especially geared to the Jewish reader. I recommend it highly for its completeness. The material on pre-natal diagnosis is potentially very important to Ashkenazi Jews. I also recommend this book because of the very well-chosen prayers."―Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer, author (with Jonathan Marks) of Heavenly Sex: Sex in the Jewish Tradition“Informed by good science, Jewish insight and the wisdom of the body as expressed through yoga … a rich collection of information, inspiration and support for expectant parents.”―Anita Diamant, author of The New Jewish Baby Book: Names, Ceremonies & Customs―A Guide for Today's Families and The New Jewish Wedding

I am only giving this 3 stars because I hardly learned anything new. Everything about pregnancy, I learned through either What to Expect When Your Expecting or Your Pregnancy, Week by Week. I think this book leans heavily to a Reform audience or even Conservative. I was really looking for something more for Orthodox. For that, I would suggest Chana Weisberg's blog jewishmom.com or her book Expecting Miracles, although it is not a handbook for pregnancy. All in all, this just wasn't what I was looking for.

I love this book! We are working on getting pregnant and I bought this as a source of support. I am so glad I have it. I can't wait to use the prayers when we get pregnant!!!! Judaism is so full of meaningful prayers and awareness.

LOVE this book! Great information, skilled writing!

Very new agey.

Nice book

I really love this book and have been recommending it to pregnant women I know! It is a beautiful book and a lot of fun to read- and a great companion for the pregnant Jewish woman in your life.It is the first book to compile all the traditional Jewish sources on pregnancy- and they are presented in a fascinating, fun-to-read way that makes them really pertinent to your experience of pregnancy. It also meant a lot to me that the book addresses a lot of important yet rarely-discussed issues that pregnant women deal with from a Jewish perspective- providing very sensitive and insightful advice, for example, about prenatal testing, miscarriage, coping with finding out that you are pregnant with an abnormal fetus.The book is written by a Reform rabbi and his ob/gyn wife- so it is possible that more traditional readers will be put off by the made up prayers, or other things written from a more liberal perspective. But even for these women, there is still a lot that is worthwhile in this wonderful book.The only thing I did not like was that half the book was about yoga- and I personally did not find that useful. I wish that the first part was just twice as long!chana weisberg- [...]author of Expecting Miracles: Finding Meaning and Spirituality in Pregnancy through Judaism

I am very glad I have this book. For some, the most important part will be to help find modern ways of celebrating their pregnancy within a Jewish context. For others, it's a way to link in with traditions that people hardly discuss or even know about anymore. A good book for an age in which we no longer have much folk wisdom passed down within families.
