Summary

Drawing upon her 40-plus years of experience, Ina May Gaskin, the nation's leading midwife, shows the benefits and joys of physiological childbirth by showing women how to trust the ancient wisdom of their bodies for a healthy and fulfilling birthing experience.

Based upon the midwifery model of care that recognizes that spontaneous labor in healthy women cannot be improved upon, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth gives expectant mothers comprehensive information on everything from the all-important mind-body connection to how to give birth without technological intervention-as well as how to know when such intervention is necessary.

Filled with inspiring birth stories and practical advice, this invaluable resource includes:

  • Reducing the pain of labor without drugs and the amazing role that touch and free movement play.
  • What really happens during labor.
  • Orgasmic birth-testimonies from those who experienced it.
  • And much more...

Life changing look at childbirth. Exactly what I needed to hear before I give birth. Thankyou

Just what I needed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The content of this book is amazing and I will be recommending the physical book to anyone who has fear of labour. I will not be recommending the audio book because it has been so hard to listen to with how it is presented. My husband can't handle it either so I don't listen to it around him.

Robotic reading voice

I hope for future listeners that the voiceover gets updated. So robotic it makes it hard to enjoy the book.

The voiceover ruins the book

An essential resource for any expectant parents, regardless what kind of birth you are going to have.

A really good resource

I'm sure the book is good but I just couldn't finish it with the narration. The robot voice was very distracting. I personally couldn't stand it.
