More About the Author

As a busy mother of eight and author of many pregnancy and parenting books, it's easy to see why I say that pregnancy is my life! Professionally and personally, and I've got the stretch marks to prove it. I love to share my passion for normal birth with others, both in the classroom and on the web. My goal is to use my knowledge and experience to teach in a fun and exciting manner. After all if you can't laugh about being pregnant, what can you laugh at?


Writing for the web is another passion of mine. You can find lots of great pregnancy information at my sites:

2.0 out of 5 stars High Tech Methods Only, February 15, 2007

This review is from: Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby: Choose a Girl or Boy Using Today's 99.9% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques (Paperback)

This book explains about the sex selection history in the past and present and about three high tech methods, which includes the Erisson Method, PGD, and the Microsort method. So, if you want to go the high tech route on choosing the sex of your child this book may be for you, but you can also look up these methods over the internet for FREE.
If you want a good sex selection book I recemmend "How to Choose the sex of your baby" by Dr. Shettles. It talks about all the high tech and low tech methods. I bought both of these books and that one was the best.

This review is from: Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby: Choose a Girl or Boy Using Today's 99.9% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques (Paperback)

We were looking for something a bit more detailed on the Shettles Method and got more of an overview of the various sex-selection methods, most of which were clinical. While I laugh at myself for thinking that we can determine our babies gender with diet, cycle tracking, and various other methods, I also think it can't hurt. At the same time, we weren't at all interested in clinical methods because of the cost, time, and because more than anything, we want a healthy baby... it would just be nice to have at least one girl in the house other than me! So! If you're looking for something to help you understand the available methods of sex-selection, this book is great. However, if you're looking for something that will help you increase your chances of one gender over another, I'd try a different book.

This review is from: Guarantee the Sex of Your Baby: Choose a Girl or Boy Using Today's 99.9% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques (Paperback)

I really loved this book! This book provides the technical data one needs when making decisions about sex selection. However, the best part of this book is the emphasis and helpful advice on discussions (the many discussions) one has with family, friends and physicans. Weiss does an excellent job of aiding the reader with talking points for a variety of people the reader might encounter. She also does an excellent job of freeing the reader from thinking that he or she has to talk about it at all or defend it. Weiss reminds the reader that she is control and when you are surrounded by experts and an unlimited supply of medical jargon, it is liberating for someone to remind you of that!
