When I saw this book I knew that this was the perfect life-long gift for my daughter-in-law, Amy, who is well on her way to becoming a midwife. Along with her already inspirational and spiritual self, she will surely treasure this book, it is so Amy!! When I saw the Zuni prayers and poems I was even more excited as this is where she and my son are living!

I wasn't a 'new mom' when i read this book, but found it helpful when doing research for a birthing ritual for a friend...it reveals so many views of impending motherhood from many different cultures...very informative and very touching. I wish i'd had it when i first found out i was pregnant!

i got this book from a friend. it is easy to read in spurts or spend some time with. my wife even enjoyed sections read to her

This book is a rare gem. It compiles many famous writers' comments concerning pregnancy and birth. It portrays pregnancy and birth as beautiful and spiritual.

It also includes different spiritual perscpectives on the different phases of pregnancy and birth. It incudes Native American, Celtic, Polynesian,...poems that describe pregancy and birth.

I used this book to find a poem for my sons birth announcement.

I have four daughters and this book has been on my bedside table since it was given to me by a friend. The book is not only beautiful, but the writing is heartwarming and interesting too. This is not your average "motherhood is wonderful - read my story" book. This collection is full of stories, peoms, photos, art, information about other cultures, and wisdom. I have loved it and given it many times as a gift to new mothers, old mothers, and many of my kid's teachers!

I did not read this when I was pregnant (my little boy was turning 2 when I came across it), but wish that I would have! I think everyone knows what a miraculous, magical experience it is to become a mother ~ and this book celebrates it beautifully! Broken down into "tidbits", perfect for when you want something to read while waiting in the dr's office or taking a rest in a comfy chair. Books like this are a nice change from "preparation" themed books, magazine articles, act...(who knew there were so many things to be "afraid" of??)that often leave you feeling insecure and overwhelmed. This book really makes you realize that there is nothing more natural in this world than having a baby. It will really make you feel more like an etherial force of nature :)
