In this accessible, straightforward book, I draw on over forty years’ experience to show how your choice of caregivers, support team and birthplace, as well as your life experience and personal attitudes to pain, can affect your birth outcomes.
Featuring real-life stories, the latest statistics and opportunities for guided personal reflection, Birth with Confidence provides the knowledge and practical advice that you need for the best chance of the birth you want.
In Beyond the Birth Plan I go deeper into the all-important emotional preparation for physiological birth – drawing on brain science, psychology, midwifery research, polyvagal theory, and the stories of many women I have supported to birth the way they want.
Whatever your intentions for labour and whatever its ultimate pathway, the emotional preparation I guide you through here will have benefits for you, your baby and the many years of parenting to come.
