| About the Belly Mapping Booklet |
|
“...Gail Tully combines her unique gifts of clinical expertise, experience, creativity, sensitivity, intuition, original thinking, and wisdom to solve the mysteries of the baby’s position in utero. She shows pregnant women and their caregivers a variety of clues that reveal the baby’s position and how to put them all together to create a picture of the baby inside. She also suggests many ways for a pregnant or laboring woman to create favorable conditions for her baby to find its way into and through her pelvis and be born. Gail’s work deserves the attention and study of the scientific community, since fetal position is a major determinant of labor progress and mode of birth, and there is very little reliable information on ways to identify and improve fetal position.”
"Belly Mapping's unique and fun approach helps you to connect to your body and your baby in pregnancy, and gives powerful techniques to create ease in labour and birth." --Dr. Sarah J Buckley,
GP/family physician

Do you want more information? Scroll down for a chart with the costs for books and shipping using the above "Buy Now" buttons. Here are a few more details:
1. Clicking
on a “Buy Now” button brings you to a PayPal page. You don’t
have to register for PayPal to buy. You can click a button and look at the
shipping costs and you can cancel your order before purchase, if you just want
to see the totals. You can order online with your credit card right now using the above "Buy Now" buttons. Cost online is $14.95 US plus
shipping. See below or on the order page for shipping. Email if you don’t
see your country listed.
Minnesota residents are obliged to pay 7.275% Bloomington sales tax (1.09) so that you can comply with the law and so that I don't have to contact you for the
tax. At least Bloomington tax is a
little lower than MN tax. Thank you so very humbly and graciously. Minnesota residents have their own Buy Now Button that uses the same PayPal or secure credit card process as the other buttons. Others
shouldn’t use it unless they, too, want to pay tax.
2. Using a
check or money order. Make your
check for 14.95 plus the shipping charge. So a US
resident (but not a MN resident) would pay 19.95 for both the booklet and shipping. Minnesota residents can send a check for $16.04 plus $5 shipping, so
$21.04 is the amount from a Minnesotan. Hey, we're tough. We can handle it. That's that same as our average temperature. I'll send it out when the check clears.

"Belly Mapping is a wonderfully intimate way for mothers to help connect with her baby in the womb as well as have a sense of baby's position. The information found in this slim volume will make a world of difference in your comfort for pregnancy and birth."
-Robin Elise Weiss, BA, CLC, ICCE-CPE, CD(DONA), LCCE, FACCE Guide to Pregnancy/Birth http://pregnancy.about.com
"Gail Tully’s book, Belly Mapping, is a unique resource for both expectant parents and their caregivers. The greater portion of the book is given to helping parents identify their baby’s position in the uterus by palpating, or feeling the baby’s body by pressing the hands on the abdomen. Parents learn to keep a diagram of the baby’s position changes, and to recognize when those changes occur. The greatest value of the book, however, is in understanding how the position of the baby affects the course of labor, and in maternal posture or movements that can help a baby move into the optimum position for an easier delivery. All pregnant women should read this book, and all maternity care providers should become familiar with the techniques described by Ms Tully!"

"Hooray for women
getting to know their own bodies and their baby inside! Gail Tully’s
book, Belly Mapping, is a
wonderful
read for moms and dads, midwives, doctors, doulas, nurses and childbirth
educators. It gives solid ideas and directions that all readers can use
to better understand and explain what is happening inside that
wonderfully
mysterious place we call the womb. The tips for helping the baby get
into
the best position for birth are invaluable! I am so glad Gail covers so
many situations and gives concrete, easy to understand directions for all
involved. What a wonderful addition to any professional’s library and
it
is so user-friendly that a family can save it as a keepsake to track the
journey of their pregnancy."

Errata for The Belly Mapping Workbook
Corrected pages: 
Automatically Download new page 24-25
[Adobe Acrobat PDF - 1.04 MB] This includes both the correction and the improved page.
Correction: There is a single mistake on page 25, the page after (under) the transparency. When you look through the transparency to the LOP baby on the right hand paper page, you see the words behind the transparency for a map of an oblique lie. The words "bulge in hip" should be whited out,
carefully, and the word "wiggles" should be written at the bottom of the circle above the area of the pubic bone. As of May 5, 2010 all Belly Mapping Workbooks come with a correction sticker already applied. The bottom of the LOP circle on page 25 looks like this with the sticker applied:
For consistency, apply to page 11 as well.
Improvement: On page 24, the page to the left of the transparency, the "Exceptions" some comments are not written close to the transparency image that pertains to the comment. I will include a pdf file to replace that page here. The words aren't incorrect, they just appear across from the matching baby which might confuse a casual reader. See right, the new page will make sense when the transparency is placed on it. Mind the center margin, it nudges the spiral binding for room, trim the new page slightly if that bothers you.
As it is in the booklet now, the note about LOP babies is written next to an ROP baby. When the transparency is covering the page, look across the page for the baby or state of flexion described.

"Just had to thank you for your work on spinningbabies.com and your Belly Mapping Workbook which I just received in the mail! I am a doula, childbirth educator and former midwifery student (left midwifery to have more children... just found out we are expecting #6!). I recently referred my cousin to your site as she had a breech baby at 32 weeks. Within 24 hours of following your techniques, that baby turned! We are so thankful! This information is a joy! I first discovered Optimal Fetal Positioning several years ago and it changed how I support birthing women (and how I approach my own births). Spinning Babies completes that information beautifully!
I was also thinking, in the future, I could purchase Belly Mapping Workbooks and include the cost in the workshop fee. That way, each lady would receive one. ...Our first workshop will be held at the end of this month."
