"Move beyond breathing and biology"
This book is amazing! I am a 2-time Bradley graduate, and while I think biology lessons and breathing techniques can be helpful, this book helps you look within to find out what YOU need to birth YOUR baby. The answer is uniquely different for each of us. The authors do not try to tell you what it is. Rather than professors, they act as guides, helping you look into your own heart, mind, and past experiences. You make the discoveries, you win the information you are seeking, you are in control. It is a very empowering journey! They do offer practical information, like biology and pain-management techniques, and it is good information. One of the pain management techniques was a sanity-saver at my last birth. Still, there is also a lot more to this book.

Get this book, and read it. You won't be sorry. Happy birthing!

"Must read for every expecting mother"
This book is very informative when it comes to discovering your inner strength to birth your baby. It encourages women to search within themselves to gain the strength to birth their baby they way they want to do it. There is not just one way to give birth-pitocin, epidural, episiotomy. You can choose a different way.

"A lot of art therapy"
I generally liked the book, but found it heavy with art therapy. Various art projects for exploring feelings and preparing for birth and parenthood. Just not my cup of tea.

"excellent reference for natural birth"
Even though the authors go into too much detail on how they run their practice and classes, such as several chapters on how to guide a class through drawing exercises, it was still a very good reference for expecting moms on natural childbirth and getting the truth about hospitals. I already knew a lot from seeing the documentary, The Business of Being Born. This book confirmed what I already knew and gave great information on natural birth techniques such as pain coping techniques and creating a positive environment with aromatherapy, massage, music, lighting, water, positions etc. I did feel a lot of the book was spent convincing the reader that natural birth is the way to go, and they did a great job, but I didn't need convincing so it was a little repetitive for me. Still its better than other books when it comes to natural techniques. It also encourages the woman to be strong and confident and protective of what she wants, which is great.

"The only pregnancy book anyone should read"
If you feel the need to read anything while pregnant, read this book. I found it very helpful to avoid all of the alarmist books (What to Expect) and just read this instead.

What our customer's say!

"An EXTRA-ORDINARY Guide", This book has been the single most important in my pregnancy journey. As this is my first pregnancy I had been very apprehensive about the birth. With the help of this book I am now much more calm about the whole pregnancy and most importantly even now looking forward to the birth. I can't recommend this book high;y enough!!!

"A must-read", This book was the best my husband and I read about the actual birthing process. While there is some good information about c-sections and pain medications, it is biased toward natural birth. If you want to learn ways to prepare for a natural labor, this is a must-read! There are several really helpful chapters for fathers-to-be. This book helped prepare me for and tame my fears about giving birth much more than any other one that I read.

"Fantastic resource!!!", I read this from front to back. It was so informative and gave me even more confidence to birth naturally.

"Reading with understanding...", I have to say that my expereince with it as a Birth Doula has been nothing but wonderful. This books focuses on more intuitive ways of birthing. If you're looking for a "step by step, do this do that" guide...that is not what you will find here. If you are okay with learning to be your best advocate, with trusting your own innate intuition regarding birth, and with learning to experience freedom in birth (the true meaning behind the howling) this book can serve as a guide in that process.

I have given birth 4 times, everytime naturally. I have used Bradley as well as Lamaze, and if i had it to do over, I'd do birthing from within. In my doula practice I often find women who struggle with trusting thier bodies, who are attempting to maintain control over what thier body is doing...these women tend to have longer and more painful labors and deliveries. I often use the techniques and ideals from birthing from within and adapt them to each womans own experience.

I will say that it seems that one's perspective on this may be different if you actually have an opportunity to attend a class. I audited a class as a doula and it seemed every couple there was moved and helped by it.

I recognize that this means of birthing is not for everyone. Some women need more struture and there is nothing wrong with that. I still say this is a phenomenal resource if you want a more free flowing birth.

"A book for every woman", This book covered a broad range of issues surrounding pregnancy, birth and the change to becoming a parent. This is my first pregnancy, so, for me, this book was a great jumping off point to figure out what my birthing ideals and fears are. I have a clearer picture of further reading I would like to accomplish as well as further questions for my health care practitioners and experienced mothers and fathers.

I recommend this book to every woman who is planning on having a baby, regardless of whether or not they've already given birth. It is a reminder to us of how special and empowering the journey of pregnancy can be in a world where we are often lulled into taking the easy road.

"An Absolute MUST", As a Childbirth Educator and a mother of three, I have used this book to the point the cover is worn thin! Most importantly, as a pregnant woman, I found this book to be calming, inspiring,and confidence-building. In my work with pregnant couples, I witness over and over again the growth expectant parents go through by utilizing the art work activities presented in Birthing From Within. As adult learners, we process information very differently than children...but sometimes reverting to the basic forms of learning--incorporating listening, reading, drawing, coloring...can bring about so much more than a straight lecture/listening format.

Whether you are a health care provider, educator or expectant parent...PLEASE pick up this book! It is truly a MUST HAVE!

"great book", If your are a midwife, doula, childbirth educator, or even an OBGYN READ this book.

Parents to be can also benifit from reading this book. It really makes you think about focusing and dealing with your fears and your hopes.

"After reading, my photography improved", I never considered myself an artist, but I noticed how much my pregnancy and birth photography improved after I read this book. This book helped the creativity in me to blossom. In turn, the creativity lead me to having much more fun with expressing my next pregnancy through artistic photogrpahy. No more boring belly shots.

"Just what I needed...", With my first pregnancy I bought the "What to Expect" book, but by my second pregnancy I knew what I could expect. Having a baby is more than braxton hicks, bleeding gums, swollen ankles, etc. I needed something different, something to prepare and bolster me emotionally for laboring again. I was relieved to find something different from the usual.

"Birthing From Within review", I highly recommend this book to any woman who's pregnant. It's been one of my favorites. I love this book and it's helped me a lot.
