Dear Honey, this is your Mother speaking.
Thank you for returning your sisters Kindle, after only a year – she is very grateful – as am I.
You can imagine my shock when the Apple B. started whining about the 67 additional titles you have loaded up her gigabytes with. Just wanted you to know that I took your side in the matter, but she continued mumbling about there being not one in the bunch that she wanted to read ! “Oh please, of course there is – let me look…..”
Good Grief Honey, I didn’t know there were that many books on Childbirth in print! I have listed a few of my favorites, with comment of course.
- Childbirth Without Fear – They obviously have never spoken to your Italian Grandmother for more than two minutes. “Just one more (horror) story before you go into labor dear….and don’t forget to put the Oregano under your tongue!”
Childbirth Across Cultures – Was there any doubt, in anyones mind, that they did this in other lands?
Childbirth At Home – Start at home, fine Honey, just finish the job at the Birthing Center.
- Childbirth: A History – And we still can’t figure out the best way to do this!
Childbirth Theory and Research?- You must be kidding, I thought you were the only one on earth to study this sort of thing!
Painless Childbirth – Simply put? A misnomer.
Birth Partner Handbook- So much responsibility these days. When I was born your Grandfathers part consisted of the bill. I can tell your right now that your father would not be up to the job if we had to do this over again. Specifically the chapter on massaging your birthing princesses you-know-what with olive oil? Has Marmot read any of these?
Ultimate Breastfeeding – I know he hasn’t read this one ….
Womanly Art of Breastfeeding – Or this one either!
I’ll buy your sister a book, poor thing, she has nothing to read.
Love from your Mother,
Queen B.
