About this listen

 The idea of giving birth can be daunting - if not outright terrifying. So many of the stories we hear about birth are negative or frightening, but in fact many women and birthing people feel positive and satisfied after their birth, however their births have unfolded. What's more, reading positive birth stories during pregnancy can help women to feel calm, confident and prepared, and so increase the chances that they'll have an experience they'll look back on positively.

Collected here by doula and hypnobirthing coach Claire Fulton are thirty true stories from a diverse group of ordinary people, representing a wide array of experiences. There are hospital births and home births; inductions, caesareans and vaginal deliveries. Things don't always go quite to plan, and there are moments of surprise, frustration and unexpected comedy along the way, but all of the stories deliver comfort, reassurance and a happy ending.©2025 Claire Fulton Pain Management Physical Illness & Disease Sexual & Reproductive Health Pregnancy

This is beautiful. Bringing life into the world will never stop being a miracle, and this book is a glorious collection of uplifting and empowering accounts that detail the various rhythms of different births. A brilliant companion (Giovanna Fletcher)
This collection celebrates the rich diversity of birth experiences - filled with humour, comfort, reassurance, and the consistent reminder that happy endings come in many forms. What a gift
