“There is nothing else out there like this for women...it is something that I want to give to all of my clients to counter all the other messages they hear during their pregnancies. It's absolutely wonderful.”
— Angela, nurse-midwife

“Pregnant women are completely deluged with negative information, stories and images of pregnancy. From the ridiculous portrayals of birth on TV to the incessant horror stories of their friends, no one ever seems to say anything good about pregnancy and birth. Finally there is a smart, truthful, encouraging attempt to counteract all that negativism. If you are pregnant, know someone 
who is pregnant, or have ever been pregnant, The Pocket Midwife is for you. Now everyone can be cared for by a midwife!”
— Bethany, obstetrician

“For uplifting and positive affirmations during pregnancy, The Pocket Midwife is the ultimate partner!”
— Mary, nurse

“The Pocket Midwife is like a book of quotations from the intelligent pregnant woman's wise inner goddess. Just the literary quiver of arrows a pregnant woman needs to counter the negativistic nay-saying of our often overly-technologized American birth culture! When every pregnant woman embraces as truth the beautifully self-empowering messages in The Pocket Midwife, childbirth in America will be revolutionized. Our culture will respect women and revere their power to give birth naturally. No longer will labor and birth be treated as a crisis to be 'managed.' The Cesarean section rate will plummet!”
— Shelley, nurse-midwife and performance artist

“I wish I'd had this when I was pregnant! It was such a powerful experience; it would have been so perfect to have a reminder to be in the moment, to trust the process, to remember how beautiful it can be! I would have loved to have somebody offer words of wisdom when so much was changing and unknown. It would have really nurtured my own sense of power. These affirmations will really help you stay clear and true!”
— Heather, nurse and mother of two

“This handy book of affirmations will ease the way to a positive and joyful birth experience for the women who use it. I will gladly recommend The Pocket Midwife to every pregnant woman I know!”
— Coleen, nurse and acupuncturist

“Susan Fekety has the gift of making the women she cares for feel treasured. Through this book of affirmations, it's possible to take a little bit of Susan's energy, enthusiasm and encouragement along with you on the magical journey toward birthing your baby!”
— Evelyn Rysdyk, Shamanic healer and author of Modern Shamanic Living
