Book Reviews of Bonding Before Birth: A Guide to Becoming a FamilyBook Review: A helpful resource for parents-to-be Summary: 5 Stars"Bonding Before Birth" is based on the experiences of a real support group for pregnant couples. It is a helpful, reassuring resource for anyone expecting their first child. It provides guidance for connecting with our unborn children (without risking the suggestion that they may actually communicate with us!), and for exploring the transition from couple to family.
This is a profound book with many unusual treasures. The author has a depth of insight into the inner world of pregnancy. You'll find some beautiful guided meditations and exercises, and a fascinating account of the author's re-experiencing of her own birth.
Best of all, there are honest dialogues with men who reveal their seldom-heard feelings and fears about the pregnancy and birth and their imminent fatherhood. I wish I had read this book during my own self-absorbed first pregnancy -- I might have had more empathy for what my husband was going through!
