About this listen

Making Babies offers a proven three-month program designed to help any woman get pregnant. Fertility medicine today is all about aggressive surgical, chemical, and technological intervention, but Drs. David and Blakeway know a better way. Starting by identifying "fertility types", they cover everything from recognizing the causes of fertility problems to making lifestyle choices that enhance fertility to trying surprising strategies such as taking cough medicine, decreasing doses of fertility drugs, or getting acupuncture along with IVF. Making Babies is a must-have for every woman trying to conceive, whether naturally or through medical intervention. Drs. David and Blakeway are revolutionizing the fertility field one baby at a time.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

" Making Babies is an excellent, well-organized guide on how to get pregnant naturally. It combines the best of both Western and Chinese methods." (Marc Goldstein MD, coauthor of the upcoming A Baby At Last! and surgeon in chief, male reproductive medicine and surgery, at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College)
"Ask a fancy reproductive endocrinologist about acupuncture and you're likely to hear, 'If it relaxes you, it's fine with me.' In other words, the official position of the high-tech fertility folks on traditional fertility medicine amounts to benign ignorance. Making Babies will change that. Here's proof that traditional and modern methods work, and not only that: they work better together. This is very good news for mothers, fathers, and babies." (Nina Planck, author of Real Food for Mother and Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating for Two, and Baby's First Foods)
"We applaud the main message of this book: improving your health improves your chances of fertility. Making Babies is a must-read for couples wanting to increase their chances of conceiving." (William Sears, MD, and Martha Sears, RN, coauthors of The Pregnancy Book and The Baby Book)

This was extremely informational and I'm glad I came across it when I did. I'm looking into purchasing the physical book right now to go back over all the important things he talked about for my specific fertility type.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This book is very helpful for any couples struggling with infertility. They don't address premature ovarian aging or diminished ovarian reserve, which is odd considering they cover so many other causes of infertility. Still worth reading to get hints how to make the right lifestyle changes

Very helpful for comparing conventional medicine and more natural options. It is refreshing to see how the two can work together to produce results with less side effects and/or less invasive procedures. I also liked how the authors used detailed explanation of how the treatments, hormones, and nutrients work in the body. The case studies were also very encouraging.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a wonderful book. The combination of the Western medicine and Eastern medicine provided such a fantastic framework. The science is clearly laid out and many helpful suggestions on non-invasive steps that can be done to improve your fertility. It also thoroughly laid out all of the myriad forms that infertility can arise. I would highly recommend this, particularly if you are interested in conceiving naturally.

Excellent & informative

After 8 months of TTC, I was finally able to give up alcohol and caffeine after reading this book. I have read a few fertility books on the subject and continued to hear the same thing. Those two things just don't build a healthy baby. I also completely changed my diet an eliminated junk, processed food, sugar 80% of the time. So far I feel great. This book's supplement recommendations are also on point with other nutrition books I have read. I finally feel on track! I will update once I get that BFP.

This book is a MUST READ!

this book has a weather of information and I wish I would have read it prior to IVF. I had a few failed attempts at IVF, (fell pregnant twice) but it failed. I truly believe if I had implemented the suggestions in this book for at least 3 months prior i definitely would have had success.

that said I suggest this book to anyone thinking about TTC and work on you first then try. I have not given up hope and will update you all when I become pregnant. best of luck to us all TTC!

Extremely informative, I highly recommend!

Once it got down to the medications/herbs it was incredibly dry and near impossible to continue.
