the best birth book

"The Best Birth Book" provides you with the knowledge and confidence to  be an active participant in your own labor and birth experience by making the choices that will lead to the best birth for you and your baby".

There is no right childbirth method; just the need to be integrated into the physiological, psychological, spiritual and emotional process of the intensely private experience of your birth.  This experience that is truly your own is an adventure in physical sensation and intense emotional discovery of your own inner power and strength. Labor is an awesome treadmill of contractions and incredible intense sensations. However difficult the labor may be, you are in your own space and discover in yourself the power to give birth with the same love and passion that created your baby. As the power of the swing of contractions spreads through your body, if the power of the physicality of birth is respected, it allows you to use your body to bring forth life with strength and confidence. 

Birth is the result of complex, well-defined, and coordinated events, which are tightly regulated by neurohormonal responses. When you understand the natural neurochemical processes of labor and birth and how to enable these neurohormones to flow freely you open yourself and your baby to any possibility.

This books focus is on labor and childbirth and promotes an evidence-based, less interventional philosophy of care rooted in the concept that in most women birth is a natural event normally calling for little intervention. "By successfully bridging alternative birth options with today's technology this book is able to provide a blueprint for reconnecting women with their innate birth wisdom and could transform the birth process as we know it today".

Whether you intend to give birth in a hospital , birth center or at home; plan to use an obstetrician as a health care provider and utilize all technology has to offer, an epidural, labor induction or cesarean section or plan to use a nurse-midwife and labor support specialist/doula as a your birth team and plan to have a non-interventional labor and birth; this book will give you the knowledge to make informed choices for yourself and your unborn baby.
