The Birth of Our New Baby: Including Children in Pregnancy and Birth

The Birth of Our New Baby is told through the eyes of a soon to be big sister who is a witness to (and so excited about) her mama's pregnancy and home birth. With fun, bright, colorful illustrations, this book is mindful of including the soon to be big sister throughout her mama's pregnancy, labor, and birth experience to really make the journey feel like a family oriented experience.

There are a few interactive bonus pages in the back of the book that include:

• Ways to promote bonding between the pregnancy and soon to be sibling, as well as ways to prepare the soon to be sibling to be present at the birth of the new baby.
• Identifying the different parts of mama's growing womb, including the baby in it.
• A page to rip out and color!
• A page with different objects that are to be cut out and used for pretend and imaginative role play in conjunction with the page you and your child colored!
• A couple pages where your child can tell about the birth experience through their eyes! Perfect for a memorabilia from the birth!
