⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'I loved how much research this went over for all of the specifics to do with induction methods. It has helped me to be confident in my birth plan as well as understanding the risks that exist for different induction methods so if the plan changes I can still feel informed and confident I'm having a positive birth experience. I did lots of other research too but I just love how succinct this book is while also being thorough enough to guide your decisions. I read it in a few hours, and highly recommend it. Knowledge is power!' - 5 Star Review on Amazon

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'I've planned a home birth with my second child, but I was told I had to be induced due to having a blood clotting disorder. My world was crushed and anxiety creeped in, for weeks I was terrified of giving birth via induction. Then a friend recommended reading this book, by the end of the book I've had a detailed birth plan written. And again, I look forward to giving birth! Not scared anymore, but feel empowered and knowledgeable!' - 5 Star Review on Amazon
