Never in my life did I think that I’d find myself reading a book about home birth and labor without medical assistance, but after hearing of the horrible experience my sister had while giving birth to my beautiful niece, I was curious and I couldn’t stop myself.
This book was full of great information, simple and understandable, giving future mothers or mothers planning to have another baby all the advice they deserve to know before choosing how they want to give birth. The author gives great guidance and talks about all the different aspects of pregnancy from the dangers of all the different forms of interventions to learning how to take care of the baby and the partner. This book debunks all the lies and fears around the normalization of western childbirth procedures and compares it with different time periods and why women’s bodies can naturally give birth as long as nobody interferes with the process. It was really interesting from the very beginning and learning that the reason why so many women died during childbirth in the Victorian era was that their corsets would often change the shape of their pelvis was fascinating. Definitely a must-read for all future fathers too, who should be included in the process as much as possible from the very beginning. The book offers cheating sheets that can be copied on a separate paper and consulted at all times. It was also clearly stated multiple times that the author herself isn’t a doctor nor a psychologist, which is really important and offers the reader the consciousness that this book isn't and shouldn’t be the only counseling they have to prepare for their home birth journey, which I thought was really nice. The author gives great advice for all mothers in waiting all while explaining the different procedures that could exclude a traditional hospital-assisted birth.
All the different nuances and the shared family experiences the author writes about were heartwarming, to say the least. They showed how much care and love went into the making of this book and how deeply the author feels about this topic. I will definitely recommend this to my sister to read if she ever plans to have another beautiful baby.
