This was definitely an eye opener to the birthing possibilities that the West tends to be ignorant of. I‘m excited and feel much more empowered to bring my child into this world. One of my favorite quotes that I‘ll be pinning up in the birth room was “Let your monkey do it.” Letting the instinctual, animal part of your brain push aside the thinking part is an important skill in this process.
Yes, that‘s my big ol‘ belly in the background. 🥰

A very informative, positive book about natural birth.

A midwife‘s views on the birth experience, which is pretty one-sided but also has good tips on how to relax during labour.

Day 3: Ina May Gaskin is amazing. She is incredibly inspirational! As the terror of wanting a water birth began to sink in, this book was one of the only things that gave me the courage to go for it. There are several real life accounts of giving birth naturally, and these women's stories helped ground me when my anxiety threatened to spin out of control.
