      The BEST book ever! A MUST read!by Holistic-Mama

      March 02, 2009: This is an amazing book. Such a wonderful read for pregnancy. I recommend this book to all of my friends and family who are having children. Whether you have a home or hospital birth, if you care about how you give birth, this book is for you. Having a baby is such a phenomenal journey. Women need to empower their self in relation to their body and realize that they are full of strength, wisdom and intuition. Trust that. Labor and birthing can be a special, sacred experience. It does not have to be filled with pain and horror, like our society has lead us to believe. Women, trust your body and your intuition, and just ride it like a wave. You and your body will know what to do! I also highly recommend watching the documentary, "Orgasmic Birth"! You can rent it on Netflix. I hope you enjoy this book as much as my spouse and I did!

      I Also Recommend: Growing Up Green! Baby and Child Care (Green This! Series), Spiritual Midwifery, Natural Pregnancy Book, Naturally Healthy Babies and Children.

      December 02, 2005: First time mother, I read this book in my eighth month and found it to be excellent and most importantly useful. I followed the advice as per the book and I labored for 4.5 hours and delivered my baby without drugs or any unneccesary medical interventions!!!! My labor, to my surprise, went fast and I felt in control. I attribute this success to this book. A must read for anyone considering a natural and drug free birth.
