.I LOVE this book! I wish a resource like this existed years ago when I had my two daughters. Having a concise, organized and detailed accounting of other mom s experiences will give realistic expectations to expecting moms. As the due date gets closer, most women have varying degrees of fear and anxiousness. This book will help reduce these common feelings. Knowledge brings calm. --Cathy Y., Jacksonville, FL
This guide takes away so much stress. It covers the little things you don t think of. The experiences of many women, all put together in one place. --Kim L., Drexel Hill, PA

Peery started this book after her own birthing experience. Neither her childbirth class, her doctor nor her pregnancy books prepared her for the 30 hours of excruciating, steady early labor contractions that were only supposed to last a few hours.
After the shock of being sent home from the hospital for false labor twice, she couldn't help but wonder if she was the only woman ever to have gone through this. Why didn't anyone tell her this could happen in normal labor?
So Peery created a website requesting childbirth stories how labor and delivery plays out in the real world. What other women wished they'd known beforehand.
Peery spent the next few years pulling herself out of bed at 4 a.m. to pour over these birthing stories from women around the world, while her family slept.
With tears in her eyes, she was able to relive wondrous and intimate moments of women she'd never met or even spoken to.
Turns out she wasn't the only one who didn't experience textbook childbirth.
This book - over 10 years in the making - is a collection of the best advice these women had to offer.
It represents more than 80 women reaching across time and space to encourage, advise and hold the hand of pregnant women everywhere.
