Author Description

This book should not be missed by expectant mothers. It gives a realistic idea of what to expect in labour, and has encouraged me to take an active role in partnership with my carers for the birth of my next child. These stories show that this is much better than hanging back and letting other people take control of what can be the most amazing experience you will ever have. — Kerry Cameron, mother The stories contained in this book have given me a real boost. Why? They all remind me about what pregnancy and birth should be like. All the women in these stories have journeyed through their pregnancy and childbirth facing challenges … For every woman whose story is told here, each woman experienced an ecstasy that is rightly part of childbirth. — Dr Andrew Bisits, obstetrician
