Recommended Reading Although these are not the “normal” book recommendations for mothers-to-be, I have found the following titles to be the absolute most useful and instrumental books for single women who have decided to continue on the unorthodox path of pregnancy and parenting without a partner. The following books will help you to maximize your physical and emotional health (and that of your baby) through your diet, your sociological and political awareness, and your spiritual strength. Please read the comments I have made and strongly consider investing in these books. If you cannot afford to purchase these books new, always check the prices of used copies from Amazon.com or your local used book store. Amazon.com links to these titles have been provided for your convenience.

Many single pregnant women feel spiritually deflated after deciding to continue with an unsupported pregnancy. Due to condemnation and judgment from those who claim to “know” God, it is understandable that many single mothers-to-be might even feel abandoned by their religions, or even by God himself. If you are having a hard time feeling spiritually supported by your community, read this book. It will help you to know that you are loved and supported by the divine, and that you are never alone.
