I am completely and totally enthralled by the miracle of life. I’m fascinated by how God has uniquely designed women to create, bear, birth, and nurture new life in the form of babies!
With Samuel, I loved being pregnant. I enjoyed the entire process from exhaustion to cravings to nesting to sweating like a pig to just about everything. Yes, some parts were difficult, and some parts I was ready to quickly move past. But the first flutter within your abdomen, the kicks that you mistake for gas, the swelling of your belly, the foot imprint below your naval, the closeness, the life, the miracle is a wonder to behold and pregnancy is a season to be cherished.
As you know, my family takes a natural approach to medicine – as much as we can and have knowledge for. When it comes to babies, this approach remains true. Samuel was born at a birth center in his own time without scheduling an induction based on our life schedule; instead, we opted to use a few natural means to help our labor progress. We love utilizing the means God has created for us in nature to help keep our bodies healthy, and pregnancy is no exception!
When I received my Making Babies Book and DVD Series to review, I was beside myself with excitement. I kept telling Mark that I wished I had this book when I was pregnant! It is filled with helpful tips and tricks for each trimester, as well as delicious recipes (including gluten free), body care, and herbal remedies. Making Babies Book and DVD Series follows Shoshanna through her pregnancy, birth, and 6 months postpartum.

Making Babies Book
I have had my copy for almost two months, and the pages are already beginning to look worn (and stained). I use it THAT MUCH! We’ve experimented with spa water, Tilapia on a Bed of herban rice, asapargus (Sam’s favorite vegetable), egg shell water, sugar scrub, cucumber and tomatoes in yogurt (Sam’s favorite snack), hummus and more! Not to mention, the amount of amazing information on how to treat our bodies with herbal tinctures and teas! We have only begun to break the surface with Making Babies Book and DVD Series.
And because I love photography, I have to comment on the amazing artwork woven within the pages of this book. The pictures are inspiring and full of life! Shoshanna’s family is beautiful, and they capture beauty in creation in a way that caused me to sing praises to God! He is truly the creator of beauty!
The Making Babies Book and DVD Series is a must have for every mom whether you’re hoping to be pregnant, are pregnant, or still in your child bearing years. This is an invaluable resource that I cannot keep my mouth shut about. I don’t get excited about a whole lot, giddy excited that is, but this series, I get really excited about! I have flipped through this book from cover to cover in one sitting at least three or four times (yes, all 480 pages worth). Even though I’m not pregnant now, I plan on learning to prepare these herbs as well as the fertility herbs in the meantime. As a matter of fact, my herbs arrived in the mail from The Bulk Herb Store just last week, and I have my concoctions brewing in my cupboard as we speak.

I am 5 weeks pregnant with our fourth. Our first was born in the hospital with great regret. We agreed to an induction at “42 weeks ” and ended in emergency c-section. Our second was born into heaven at 10 weeks gestational age. Our third was born at home v-bac with Midwife support . We are planning on our new little one to be born at home with midwife support too. We also opt for natural approach to life and wellness so I think this book would be a great help.
This is on my wishlist! It’d be so great to win it!
I would so much like to win this for my daughters!
I love the bulk herb-store and Shoshanna’s videos. I would love this book to have handy and to let pregnant friends borrow!
Hoping to have another baby soon. I admire Shoshanna’s work. I also follow her mom and dad’s ministry. I would love to have this set. It’s been on my wish list for quite some time.

I have heard great things about this series!
I would love to win!! Sounds like an amazing resource!

Those looks like an awesome resource! We have one girl (18 months) and I was happy with my experience (midwife in a hospital, no drugs) but I know that there is so much more I can/should be doing that would benefit me and the baby during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I am pregnant right now and would love a chance to check out this set!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t need to win this because I already have it! Love it. Still working my way through the DVD’s and that causes me to look up recipes in the book. Great resource. As the husband and I are looking forward to getting pregnant sometime
in the near future I am so glad I have this resource.
Looks like an awsome book/video! We have four littles and I welcome another when God grants us one! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would love to win. Blessings

I’d love to win this as we are thinking about trying for baby #2. I studied many natural resources during my first pregnancy, but due to medical reasons had to have more interventions in the birth than I wanted. I hope to experience a more natural delivery with my next pregnancy.
I have SO been wanting to get this! Would LOVE to win this giveaway.
Cool! I’ve been looking for something like this!

I really want my next child birth to be natural! Unfortunately, we don’t have a birth center here, so my options are home birth or hospital. I feel like they are two extremes!

Mary Beth, welcome to my world! I have the same exact options! Right now, we’re leaning toward home birth, but the hospitals here are great too. Oh the decisions
Been eyeing this series for awhile…looks amazing!
