Currently Reading: The Birth Book by William & Martha Sears

I bought my copy (with some help from friends working at Petronas Twin Towers) from Kinokuniya and am now very eagerly 'digesting' it.

Actually I can't wait to share the stuff I am learning from it, eventhough I have just started reading probably a mere 5% of the book.

Here are some quotations from the book, under 'Ten tips for a safe and satisfying birth"

1. "The process of exploring birth choices can be therapeutic. It compels you to examine yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your fears..." (page 10)

2. "Giving birth is the most powerful act you will ever perform, and it should leave you feeling good about yourself" (page 11, under 'Take responsibility for your birth choices')

I definitely have more to share from the book and will be doing so from time to time, insyaAllah.
