“I liked how the play progressed and built up because, honestly, I came in thinking, ‘I'm one of those epidural women.’ But the play got me thinking -- wow, that's phenomenal. Birth is phenomenal. The play really turned in me into thinking about other options for giving birth. I can't promise anything... but I definitely think differently about childbirth now.”

“The characters were very real -- and not judgemental. I never felt like I was being judged.”

“I liked that the play had the courage to do the birth sounds. When the sounds begin you have that same feeling of slight discomfort you have seeing anyone do anything that's very personal. But that's what birth is all about; if you skip the birth sounds it would leave the experience kind of sterile. If you're going to describe childbirth you might as well go all the way.”

“This play educates the audience about real birth stories. The point is that we all hear about birth from TV. Let's hear some real sounds, some real dialogue, some real outcomes, and some real side effects of interventions. This play does that.”

“Bravo.The play was exquisitely genuine. I laughed. I cried. I was happy and sad. I was reminded of my own births and the ones of those I have been privileged to be with. Birth is truly more than "one day" in your life and the play exemplifies this.”

“There was a nice way of weaving in facts about birth in America in anatural way -- with startling statistics.”

“I liked the chorus -- particularly when women were encouraging each other.”

“Who would have thought a play about childbirth would have so much laughter in it?”

“I'm glad you had the courage to write about childbirth in America, and really embrace it. My hope is that more people see this because I think everyone could feel the sisterhood in the audience tonight. ”

“The play is very educational, with an important message. People need to see this --especially young women.”

“Birth is a difficult concept to put into a play and you've done it.”
