Here are a few of my favorite reads to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported from bump to beyond.

A must-read if you're interested in nourishing your body and your baby through real, whole foods. Written by a registered dietitian, this book breaks down the science in a way that’s easy to digest (pun intended!) and helps you feel confident about your nutrition choices during pregnancy.
Ever wondered what the research actually says about pregnancy? For the data-driven mamas (or anyone who loves to ask “why?”), this one’s for you. Economist Emily Oster digs into the research behind common pregnancy advice so you can make informed decisions without the fear-based fluff.
This book offers a natural-minded, supportive take on pregnancy — complete with week-by-week updates, real stories from other mamas, and practical advice rooted in wellness. Think of it as your holistic handbook from first trimester to delivery. I loved having this broken down by week; it was easy to get through with a little tid-bit each week.
A beautifully written guide to the sacred (and often overlooked) postpartum window. Centered on nourishment, rest, and healing, this book blends ancient wisdom with modern insights to help you refuel, recover, and feel supported in those early weeks with your baby.
