This guide is incredibly helpful for any mother to be. It helps organize your medical history so that your provide knows where to focus their care. I loved the practical ideas for a baby shower that is actually helpful and the acknowledgement of mental health issues that can arise-with tools for loved ones to help. I will be sending a copy to my cousin, who is newly expecting!
