I am planning my first homebirth...about 9 weeks to go. I am on the fence as to what my children will be doing at the time of the birth. I'm not sure how much they will distract me from my hypnobirthing and how much they will want to see or not to see. I am looking for some child friendly books about giving birth. I am looking for both realistic and maybe some more "cartoony" type books...I need options.

It's good to have an extra care-taker there whose only role is caring for the child, but some families get along without that. Many siblings actually sleep through birth as it so often occurs at night.

I hope she is sleeping but if she's around at least she has a clue what's up.

But it's one to keep your eye open for. I have "Welcome with Love" too which they kids liked but they just didn't love that one as much as Runa's Birth.

So I had my visit with my midwife the other day and I asked about children's book recommendations and she says, "oh there is a great one, let me check my lending library...it went out of print awhile ago." I asked if it was the one called Welcome With Love and she says yes. I so excited to be able to borrow it...esp since the book is going for anywhere btwn $50-$200 online. Then she says, "Oh look I still have one more new copy...here it is my gift to you." I wanted to jump up and down. Then she wrote a sweet message inside to my sons Jack and Liam. I just read it to them tonight. My son Jack is so intrigued! I can't believe she had a new copy of that book! I am so grateful!
