I love birth.
I love reading about birth.
I love reading birth stories.
I even publish birth stories here on this site.
So I am happy to host a giveaway of Belly Button Bliss: A Small Collection of Happy Birth Stories
Who wants to win a copy?
I really enjoyed this book.
What I love about it are the joyous attitudes of the women who contributed.
No matter what their birth experience, they were forever changed – and happy about that!
I have long encouraged women to IGNORE people who regale them with birth horror stories. Reading about beautiful, magical, spiritual, joyful births – whether they took place in hospital or at home, whether the births were natural or not… is important for a pregnant woman. Especially one who wants to prepare for a natural childbirth.
Reading Belly Button Bliss inspired me to work up the courage to ask a pregnant friend if I can support her at her birth. I just have to experience birth again… from the other side of the action!
If you have a friend who is expecting who you think would love the book, or if that’s YOU, then please leave a comment below. That’s one entry. To get another entry, Tweet about the giveaway. To get still another, blog and link to this page. And let me know what you did below.
If you don’t win, you can always pick up a copy from Amazon too. 
The winner will be chosen on Tuesday, May 23 at Noon Eastern time.
Mazel tov!
Newly preg-trying to get inspired!
Would love this…
what are the chances of two newly pregnant Jocelyn’s commenting on this one after the other??
Sounds like a great book! I’m a doula, but taking a break now as I have a baby due in August. I’m missing all the birth action!
Would love to read these stories, due July 14th, all natural waterbirth- active birth- need all the info and inspiration I can find! = )
I love birth stories!! Would love a copy to read and then share!!!!
I would love to give a copy of this book to my daughter. She’s expecting her first baby in November.
I would love to have this book. However seeing as I am due in late may it may be better to give to someone else…. I’ll put it on my wishlist for now and find another distraction until baby is born in 2 months….. Thank you for posting.
i am a participant in one of the birth stories in this book, and i would love to have it! (i attended anne’s birth of sylvan…we used my shoelace to tie the cord, though i don’t know yet whether she included that detail!) it’s nice of you to do this.
