About this title

Review:

At last a book that puts the risk factors into perspective and encourages older women to become mothers! This is a treasure trove of useful guidance about the wonderful options there are for a positive and life changing pregnancy at any age. Written with a twist of humour, this book will inspire and inform as much as it will amuse you. (Janet Balaskas - Founder Active Birth)

The book by Claudia Spahr is perfectly adapted to our time because many sentences end with a question mark. Delayed motherhood is an unprecedented situation on the five continents. When facing new situations the priority is to phrase new questions. (Michel Odent)

Very easy to read and informative. (Dr Yehudi Gordon)

Claudia Spahr has written a wise, informative, and entertaining pregnancy and birth guide that is both perfect for older mothers and equally relevant if you're still in your teens or twenties. Don't miss this one! (Ina May Gaskin, author, and founder of The Farm Midwifery Centre)

Right Time Baby is just the right medicine for women who want to have a baby but who have been led to believe that their fertile time is drawing to a close. Nothing could be further from the truth. Take heart, read this book, and tap into your fertility birthright. (Dr Christiane Nothrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom)

This book gives women a timely and positive understanding that pregnency over 35 is not just a possibility, but a source of joy and delight. Claudia offers oodles of useful tips and helpful information, presented in a really accessible and down to earth manner. A fabulously helpful resource. (Una Dinsmore-Tuli, author and yoga pioneer)

The time is right for a book like this. I shall be recommending Right Time Baby to all my pregnancy clients. (Dr Jonathon Dao, ND OMD)

Right Time Baby is heartening, but more importantly, encouraging. There is another way, if you want it. (Juno magazine 2011-06-01)
