The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (La Leche League International Book)
“ I loved this book -- I read it while I was pregnant & found it really helped me prepare for a successful breastfeeding relationship. The book is honest, doesn't sugar coat the routine issues that new mothers sometimes face. Maybe why I love the book so much is that I really believe it saved my ability to breastfeed my son. I took it with me to the hospital. A pushy nurse was...” --t2009
Dance of the Womb, Belly Dance for Pregnancy & Birth
“ Belly dancing for birth is rarely available in my area, so this disc set is a REALLY nice way to introduce women to belly dancing. The instruction is clear and the segments logically separated. Dance of the Womb addresses topics of the physical birth experience that many prenatal fitness videos won't go near. But what makes it extra special is the attention to the mental part of pregnancy and...” --RubyOrganique

“ I bought this book on the recommendation of several other women on the Mothering forums. I initially thought I was buying it for my husband, as the title suggests he would get the most out of it.

Plus, I grabbed it many times in the last month of pregnancy to look up this or that that I was...” --MaerynPearl

Creighton model FertilityCare system: An authentic language of a woman's health and fertility
“ The book and materials cost an initial $40, the follow up sessions cost additionally. They offer discounts to those in financial need. In the long run, it is more cost effective than pills. This method is more convenient than sympto-thermal. Temping every morning when little ones keep you up all night was just impractical for me. This method works by adding...” --lollie2357
