This collection of birth stories shows the beautiful differences of how birth can unfold. These accounts are all home births, either assisted with a midwife or unassisted/ freebirths. The book includes natural breech births, twins, mothers who have had previous cesarean sections or trauma, family births, solo birthing, and how the mothers came to the decision of taking birth back into their own hands. It is truly an inspiring book. Perfect if you are looking to prepare yourself before your own home birth. It pairs perfectly with Home Birth on Your Own Terms manual.
Reviews: This is a fantastic collection of natural, home births. All were either unassisted or attended by traditional or space-giving Midwives. Reading these stories as a pregnant woman helped to remind me afresh of how normal and generally trust-worthy birth is, and increased my excitement to do it again soon! Heather Baker has been a godsend to me. Her books Were life-changing, and led me to have the most amazing birth experiences that I could have hoped for. Especially after my traumatic hospital birth. She is truly an amazing birth worker. Love this book, full of inspirational birth stories and shows the vast spectrum of what’s normal in home birth. This is a must read for any birthing person. This is Heather Baker’s 3rd production. Her other books: Home Birth On Your Own Terms and Parto En Casa are best sellers and have sold all over the world. All of her books support natural birthing at home.
