Mrs
This is a must read for expectant parents. The stories in this book are diverse and show that birth is empowering and shouldn't be feared. This book is not just about natural birth but shows that you can have a positive birth experience whichever way you decide to birth your baby. I loved the waterbirth stories and the extra on waterbirth, being that I also had a wonderful waterbirth and am a big advocate of this. As a Doula in training I will recommend this book to all my clients. Thanks for such a wonderful book.
