{sent via facebook message} I just want to say I looooved this book. I had a HBAC (home birth after c-section) in October and this book really helped to channel my mindset. I have lent it to a friend who is having a VBAC in a few weeks. I’ve also just become Vice Convener for Birthrites WA so I hope to share the positivity of all births with this book with women recovering from Caesareans. Verlie. X
{posted to the facebook community} I just wanted to say I adored this book. It was sent to me by a friend when I was expecting my second baby after having a very traumatic Caesarean birth. It really helped to channel my mindset and remain positive about my upcoming birth.
Your book really helped me to mentally prepare and deal with a lot of my fear. When our daughter was born both my husband and I felt like a heavy dark cloud had been lifted, I found myself again. X
I went on to have a beautiful healing and empowering HBAC in October and have since passed this book to another VBAC Mummy who is due in a couple of weeks. I have recently joined the board for Birthrites WA and I hope to continue to spread the message that birth, however you choose to do it can be positive and empowering by sharing this book with women healing after Caesareans and planning their next births.
Thank you to you and all the women who contributed. X
