Everybody’s Birth Book: What REALLY Works

So far, hundreds of women from 7 countries have told us:

What REALLY worked for you in labor?  What surprised you?  What do you wish you had known?

There are lots of gorgeous pictures, too. It’s extremely useful and fun for pregnant people, partners, childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, OB’s, nurses, teachers…

The project is ongoing, and wonderfully inclusive of ALL moms and their experiences.  Mothers from all over the world are invited to join in and share their stories.  Over time, the book will evolve to reflect more and more viewpoints.

There’s another ebook coming soon: Birth in a Nutshell.  Meanwhile, here are some free printable super-short summaries to make your life easier:
