Greetings! This is a site I am devoting to my book, Lamaze: Kung Paano Dapat Manganak ang Babae (Lamaze: How a Woman Should Give Birth) published by Anvil Publishing, Inc. in August 2003.

We will build this site as we go along, as this will be a forum for readers and surfers who would like to comment and ask questions about the Lamaze method and the book.

This site will also serve as an updating of the book's contents, should readers deem that I have missed important topics in my book.

I will also use this site to make announcements on
events related to the book, such as tours, classes, and orientations. We'll also include media features such as book reviews (got a good one from Inquirer Libre on September 12, 2003, read excerpts below) and TV appearances.

REVIEW EXCERPTS:
     "...Pinakikita sa libro ni Dacanay ang iba't ibang ehersisyong ginagawa ng babaeng buntis upang makatulong sa kanyang pagluwal.
     Ngunit bukod sa pagiging Lamaze manual, pinapaliwanag ding mabuti ng libro ang proseso ng pagbubuntis.
     Pati nga papel na ginagampanan ng bawat parte ng reproductive system ng babae ay iniisa-isa niya.
     Filipino ang wikang ginamit ng libro kaya't panalo sa lahat. Payo naming basahin ninyo ito, kahit hindi kayo buntis. Mas mainam nga kung lalaki ang magbabasa.
     Sulit ang inyong salapi rito."

REVIEW TRANSLATION:
     "...Dacanay shows the different exercises needed for a successful Lamaze childbirth.
     But aside from being a Lamaze manual, it explains fully the process of pregnancy.
     She even elaborates on the role each part of the reproductive system plays.
     It is written in Filipino and benefits every Filipino. We suggest that you read it, even if you are not pregnant. It's better if men read it, too.
     It is well worth the price."
