πŸ’¬ Reader Reviews:

β€œIt seems like everyone in my book club would have benefited from reading Mind-Body, Birth: Your Guide to Fearless Childbirth by Samantha Vaive, Ph.D. The book is filled with an amazing amount of information so you can make informed decisions about your pregnancy and delivery β€” about pain meds, C-sections, nursing and more. So that you know that sometimes there is actually nothing wrong with you, but it’s just the way your body works.”
— Barbara Wilkov
β€œHer tone is chatty, informal, and pleasant, using inclusive language and talking to her audience as if discussing matters with a friend over tea and cookies. However, she also helpfully provides a neat, textbook-like list of key points and important questions to consider after each chapter. ”
