Our Birthing From Within Keepsake Journal

Summary: Big, beautiful, and inspiring
Review: I am lucky to have one of the initial copies of this journal and I am so impressed I wanted to write a review. This is a real gem, not only because of the wonderful content, but because of the beauty in the book itself. We always say not to judge a book by it's cover, but I think the cover is one of my favorite parts! It is hardcover. It will last on my bookshelf for many years. Inside, the reader is guided through hands-on exercises that help prepare for birth and parenting, as well as space to record memorable events through the first year. It truly is a keepsake. I highly recommend it for expecting couples.

Summary: Excellent preparation and keepsake
Review: What a wonderful companion book to Birthing From Within. The Keepsake Journal has plenty of good information, practical exercises to prepare for labor and childbirth, as well as some pages for recording important information during the first year. It incorporates journaling, art, and pain-coping exercises all in one book! I highly recommend this for anyone expecting a baby or looking for a gift. It is better earlier in the pregnancy.

Summary: Our Birthing From Within Keepsake Journal
Review: With so many choices for documenting your pregnancy this book stands alone. It does so much more than encourage the reader to journal their journey through pregnancy. It asks thought provoking questions and truly helps to prepare the reader for pregnancy, labor and postpartum. The pages are thick enough that parents' can actually put their art work directly in the book. This book takes the ideas and processes described in "Birthing From Within" by Pam England and Rob Horowitz, and helps walk parents through them, step by step. So that while they preserve their many memories of their pregnancy, baby's birth and early childhood they are in turn learning how to be born as parents. Almost every child loves to hear about their birth. Here is a book that helps the child to know his parents and helps the parents preserve who they were before, during and after their baby rocked their world. What a loving legacy to pass on to your child. This journal will become a precious family heirloom, to be treasured for generations to come. I can't encourage expectant parents enough to buy this book.
