Cheerios, I tried to share with a few christians about the book and they are all quite sceptical. Tell me, do you believe it? Are you putting some of it into practise? Do you work to have faith in this for your own life? Do you know anyone who have actually told their body what to do, in Jesus name (really a challenge for me) I feel completely alone with the message of this book but I have started reading it again. I can't just put it away and pretend it did not happen to these people... I am wondering if it really is something for ME from God. I cried out to him today saying how hard it is to get the message pass my understanding. It just seems my brain is in the way and my body's constant signals of bad gynochological health does not help either. But then I heard a talk at a meeting today and the man who gave the little sermon gave one scripture only: Proverbs 2,5 which was exactly about trusting the Lord with your heart and not letting your own mind get in the way.
Please let me know what you think. You are the only person I have to talk to about this strange mind-blowing faith question.

Hey Amber
Remember what the author said in her book? She said that she didn't tell anybody about her faith stance on the entire issue. Nobody other than her hubby, God and the devil. I found that pretty wise. Because you're bound to meet skeptics and you're going to have to use whatever faith you have to defend your stance. The faith that is already challenged to trust God for more.
But yeah, having said that, I have also spoken to a couple of friends about the book and I've had to make some defence of the book as well. Most of them though showed interest in the book and would want to read it...although none of them are TTCing at this point. Perhaps you can just gentle say, they can read it for themselves and come up with their own stance.
I'm just encouraged that supernatural childbirth seems to have had happened to quite a couple of ladies - whose testimonies are in the book.
But I personally don't know anybody who's had painless childbirths yet.
Another option is also to get your hubby to read the book. And get him to support you. What the author also said is to reach for the stars - faith-wise and see how far your faith leads you.
I've been speaking to my body about pains and leg aches and so far they have been working! So that's encouraging. I still have my fair share of other pregnancy-related stuff like a stuffy nose and itchy throat - no thanks to hayfever, which I've NEVER had before but have it for the first time since I'm preggy.
Still, I want to praise God for baby steps in areas of healing. There's no right or wrong answer. But the author did use verses in the bible. And the testimonies also included those whose childbirths were not painless and they used epidural. Still, it was a smooth childbirth.
So yeah. Do not listen to skeptics. Read the bible verses. And ask the Holy Spirit to give you a level of conviction for where you are at and trust God for more!!!!
My mom died of cancer after a 3 year fight. I was of course discouraged in this area of healing. But this doesn't mean that God doesn't heal. I have heard people getting cured of cancer all over the place. So I wanna trust that whatever reason God took my mom home at the age of 47, He knows better than me. But I will still continue to pray and trust God for healing for myself and whoever I know who's sick -- you get the picture I'm trying to paint?
Ok, don't want to sound so long-winded. Lots of
lol but is there a pregnancy journal on BAB or are you talking about a personal PG journal? lol!
I spent enough time on BnB to know it inside out! 
But I'm sure it will get better soon!
