Recent research has shown that if a woman is exposed to just ONE positive birth story it changes her outlook on birth and she actively questions her birthing options and seeks out a better birth experience. This leads to better birth and post natal outcomes for both mother and baby.
The stories collected for this book showcase a range of births including natural hospital deliveries, home births, water births and caesareans. The women who have graciously shared their personal experiences are everyday women – just like you. Each birth has been photographed by a professional photographer, allowing an intimate peek into real, normal (but always amazing) birth.
Love Your Birth is a book for yourself, for your sister, for your friend, and every woman who deserves a beautiful birthing experience.
The details:
– 29 empowering, positive birth stories
– spanning 265 pages
– 8×8 inch soft cover coffee table book style (stretch goal of an additional $1000 will allow me to print Love Your Birth as a hard cover book)
