Hmm, after typing the title so many times, I am beginning to wish I had called it something shorter. 

Tracine, a first time mom sent me this comment:

Thanks for sharing this concise, easy to read and inspiring piece with me. As my husband and I prepare for our first birth, we have found ourselves overwhelmed with questions and uncertainty of where to seek answers. After reading your quick guide I feel confident that we can do it, and do it the best way for our family. I am excited instead of overwhelmed about the upcoming months. Thanks again.

I have to explain how I know Alison.

I read Alison’s HypnoBirthing birth story online somewhere and saw she is an author. She actually lived in my town and was happy to come to book clubs to talk.

As I belong to 3 book clubs (crazy I know) I decided to read her books and invite her to come to one of my book clubs. She did and it was so much fun, that we invited her to join our book club and she DID! I am so glad because we became great friends and our little ones also became friends.

Then she got pregnant, took my Hypnobabies class and I got to be her doula! Which was so amazing, my first homebirth!

Then she moved far away. I miss her and so does my littlest one. Thank goodness for the internet, so I can still see what she is up to.

I will say that I asked many of my friends to help me edit my book.  Alison did an AWESOME job helping me out.  Thanks so much!

Then she said this about my book, which was really sweet.

I think this is a really fantastic book you’ve written, truly.

For people who are overwhelmed thinking about how to have a good birth, this will be incredibly helpful.

Sheridan, this e-book is a perfect tool to help expecting parents! It is precise and to the point,
avoiding information overload, while giving mom’s information that should be researched further.

I will be posting on my social networking sites as well as sharing with my doula clients!

You CAN share this book with anyone! You can even offer it as a download on your own site.

I probably shouldn’t have favorites.  But I will say when I read this review, it made me cry.  This was exactly why I wrote the book, to support ALL moms!  Not just ones wanting a homebirth or even natural birth.

ALL moms deserve to enjoy their births and I wanted ALL moms to benefit from my book.  So when I got this comment from Katie, I was happy to see that I achieved that goal.

Katie – mom to 4 (1 set of twins)

I read your book and it is wonderful.

To be honest, I was hesitant to read it because of my own ignorance!  I thought that someone who felt strongly about home birthing would think that all other avenues of birthing were bad (yes, my own ignorance!).

I had a c-section with my past two births and a vaginal birth with my first. I felt less of a mother because I had to have a c-section with my boys and I had gotten kind of defensive about having to do that and have just come to terms with my children’s birth journeys in the past little while.

Anyway, I love that you focus on intuition and having a birth plan but being flexible.  That is wonderful advice to all expecting mothers.

I also love that you are “diplomatic” and respectful of peoples birth options.

You have so much great advice and information packed into an easy-to-read book.

Sometimes the pregnancy books are so overwhelming that it’s nice to read something that can be read in a half hour and then you can read it again and again.

I didn’t know that so many of your home birthing strategies are not only appropriate but helpful in a hospital setting as well. I think I thought of home birthing as a “crazy thing I would never do” BUT the relaxation techniques, breathing, and empowerment are all things that are applicable to all birth options (even a c-section).

I, and a think a lot of other women, get defensive about birth and we forget that all options have their pros and cons like you said. We just need to talk with each other in a respectful way and we would see the good in it all. I’m preaching to the choir but I definitely need to do that!

I have to say that I really respect how respectful the book was. It was a great read!!

Thanks Katie for sharing your thoughts.  It really made all the work it took worth it.  Even if you are the only mom I touched, it was all worth it!

Heather – expecting her 4th baby

I feel so blessed that I was able to read this before the birth of my 4th baby.  With life being so crazy, I haven’t taken the time I have needed to, to ponder about THIS baby.

I had a girl’s weekend with my mom and sisters-in-law this past weekend and everyone was telling their birthing stories.  I for some reason panicked and started getting very nervous.

This has never happened before with any of my other births.  Reading this tonight helped me regroup and GET EXCITED again and not NERVOUS for baby Elizabeth to arrive.

I wanted to thank you for being a silent angel in my life at this time of need.  My being nervous has subsided and I feel such peace. I can hardly wait for the delivery of this little miracle.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing.

My first son was obsessed with tags.  He would suck on them all the time.  Even his shirt tags, while he was wearing them.  It looked hilarious.

They didn’t have Taggies back then, but he would have loved these products.  Apparantly he isn’t the only kid who loves tags, because they have made a whole product line for kids that do.  It is soothing to rub tags or for some kids to suck on them.

I have a coupon code for free shipping for purchases over $45.   Enter N6W4M8P4P5 when you check out.  It should be good for all of 2010.
