Orgasmic Birth: Your Guide to a Safe, Satisfying, and Pleasurable Birth Experience is getting great reviews...but I'd love to hear from any of you that have read it...what do you think?The title is as political as it is personal: we hope that women who have already decided on epidural will pick it up and reconsider their options.
Here are the responses:
"In process of reading it now. Liking what I've read so far! Will weigh in when I've finished it."

"Very much enjoying it...as I have all your books. Very beautiful and inspirational!"

"I'm on page number 35 and already thinking EVERYONE WOULD BE BENEFITTED BY READING THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I've ever read! IT'S A MUST!!!! Oh, if I only had read this before giving birth, I would have enjoyed my two births EVEN MORE! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL, deep, profound and yet sooo easy to understand! It makes so much sense, I love the description of how oxytocin works when a woman surrenders, moves inside herself, goes deep away from beta into alpha and theta wave."
*****************************
"I love the short storygray boxes in every page! Love the way so many women felt. It makes me realize I'm not the only one, so many women live this power but expressed in a different tone, color, intensity and with different rituals, "in creating a birth environment that is both functional and beautiful," like you said in page 18."

“Orgasmic Birth is a must see film for every man and woman so they can begin to envision the power of a woman in labor as seen in an orgasmic delivery. As a pediatrician who saw this film and later experienced the birth of my grandson in the same way shown in the film, I can assure you this is REAL and that it can be done if the mother can take control of her body without unnecessary procedures. I now have two different feelings: 1) happiness: for my daughter and grandson and the knowledge that a delivery can be a very beautiful and powerful experience for the mother, the baby and the family and 2) sadness: for all the unnecessary traumatic births still going on. It is time to change the future by changing the way our babies come to this world; it is time for every one to see Orgasmic Birth.
