Purchase options and add-ons
This whole journey—from wondering if you’re pregnant to holding your baby—can feel like a lot. The advice, the symptoms, the big emotions, the tiny details... it adds up fast. That’s why I wrote this book.
The Complete Pregnancy Book for First-Time Moms was created to walk with you through each stage in a way that feels calm, clear, and real. It’s part guide, part reassurance—written by a mom and pharmacist who knows what it’s like to Google things at midnight, feel overwhelmed by choices, and still try your best every day.
What You’ll Find Inside:
You’ll get 300+ pharmacist-approved solutions, natural remedies, and week-by-week tips to help you feel more confident, more supported, and a little less stressed. Here’s what you’ll find:
✔️ Trying to Get Pregnant – Understand your cycle, take care of your body and mind, and learn when to reach out for help
✔️ Early Pregnancy – From choosing your provider to prepping for that first visit, you’ll feel ready and reassured
✔️ Pregnancy Symptoms – Real tips that help with the nausea, the swelling, and everything in between
✔️ Baby’s Growth – Week-by-week updates in plain language, plus sweet ways to bond as baby grows
✔️ Labor Prep – What to pack, what to expect, and how to adjust when plans change
✔️ Postpartum Recovery – Honest support for your healing and rest (because this stage is about you, too)
✔️ Emotional Support & Relationships – Feel seen, supported, and connected in your role as a new mom
What Makes This Book Different:
This isn’t just another pregnancy book filled with medical jargon or overwhelming advice. It’s real, practical, and judgment-free.
✔️ Clear, doable advice you can actually use
✔️ No fluff, no pressure—just real support
✔️ A warm, conversational tone that feels like talking to a friend who’s been there

📝 Quick-start recaps for early pregnancy and planning
📅 Week-by-week pregnancy guides and summaries
🛍️ Baby prep checklists (what you really need and what to skip)
🧘♀️ Daily wellness and mental health reminders
👜 Hospital bag, birth prep, and postpartum recovery essentials

…and more practical tools to help you stay organized and supported

If you’re expecting your first baby, feeling unsure about what’s next, or just need honest, real-life advice for pregnancy, labor, and beyond—this book is for you.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
This isn’t a perfect-mom manual. It’s a real-life companion for one of the biggest transitions you’ll ever make.

You don’t have to figure it all out today.

About the author

Dr. Rhowela Albana Friel is a pharmacist, writer, and mom of two girls. With over 15 years of experience in healthcare and a deeply personal journey into motherhood—including infertility, miscarriages, and two C-sections—she brings both medical knowledge and real-life heart to every page she writes.
Rhowela grew up in the Philippines, watching her parents serve their community through the family pharmacy. After moving to the U.S. at 13, she followed in their footsteps, becoming a pharmacist and eventually leading teams in both community and specialty care. Today, she works as a clinical pharmacist supporting public health programs that expand access to essential medications.
But it was becoming a mom that truly reshaped her path. After navigating fertility treatments and pregnancy loss, Rhowela set out to create the kind of resource she couldn’t find—one that made the overwhelm feel lighter, the decisions clearer, and the journey a little more supported.
Her books are written with warmth, clarity, and compassion—designed to help first-time moms and busy caregivers feel informed without being overwhelmed. Her voice is personal, never preachy; her guidance is grounded in science but always human.
When she’s not writing or working, you’ll find her soaking up the chaos and sweetness of life with her two daughters, a cup of coffee in hand, and a heart for helping other mamas feel less alone.
Follow Rhowela here on 鶹 to stay connected and get updates on new releases, practical tips, and upcoming resources in The Mama Series.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2025Verified PurchaseThis book has been such a comforting guide throughout my pregnancy. It’s like having a friend who’s been through it all, giving you advice without the overwhelming medical jargon. I love how it’s broken down week-by-week, making it easy to track what’s happening with both me and the baby. The tips are realistic and practical, not just generic advice, and the postpartum section is a lifesaver. It’s so reassuring to read something that acknowledges how tough the recovery stage can be. Highly recommend for any first-time mom who wants to feel more prepared and less anxious.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2025Verified PurchaseThis book was great for preparing my mind for pregnancy and motherhood. You should do your research before taking any shots these days. This book provides a nice overview, and I use other books that incorporate herbal medicine and superfoods to help prepare the body. If you want to be as healthy as possible, err on the side of doing more natural things. After all, having babies is the most natural gift from God there is.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2025Verified PurchaseThis book is an absolute gem for first-time moms—thorough, comforting, and refreshingly practical. Dr. Friel breaks down every stage of pregnancy with clarity and warmth, offering real-world advice that feels like it’s coming from a trusted friend. The checklists and week-by-week guidance make navigating the journey feel far less overwhelming.
