Mind-Body, Birth is a research-based, easy-to-understand, and inclusive guide designed to help you achieve your best birth. Birth doesn't have to be something you suffer through just to get to the good part-birth can be the good part. In this book, you'll learn how to move beyond the fear of childbirth, allowing you to have a joyful birth experience that you are excited about. Mind-Body, Birth breaks down what actually makes childbirth painful (it's not what you think) and offers strategies to reduce that pain. You'll learn the barriers that get in the way of an awesome birth experience. You'll also explore traditional and non-traditional ways to enhance your birth journey and improve outcomes for you and your baby. The book guides you through activities, and journaling prompts you to deepen your understanding while you explore the path to your best birth. As the book comes to an end, you will use these activities to build your personal birth toolkit-a comprehensive resource that will guide you toward a joyful birth. Whether this is your first time giving birth or looking to improve upon past experiences, Mind-Body, Birth equips you with the knowledge and confidence to feel prepared and excited about your upcoming birth.
