Tara, I had to get someone with a CC to buy mine for me. It's hard to say exactly how long each day/week you should spend on it. Depends how quick a reader you are for one LOL. Also, to get the most of it, there are some exercises or body positions that you can practice daily... or just be 'aware' of them as you go about your day IYKWIM? By spending some time each day focussing on my body I'm more aware of what postions keep me 'open'. I take half an hour or so every 2-3 days to read a bit more and then spend the next few days absorbing it all. Not sure if there is any actual labour/birth footage in it as I haven't gotten through all of it yet. I do know there is a CD included where you can listen to a pink kit birth though.

Rae, congrats! Can't wait to hear what you think of it!
