About this listen

Drawing upon her 40-plus years of experience, Ina May Gaskin, the nation's leading midwife, shows the benefits and joys of physiological childbirth by showing women how to trust the ancient wisdom of their bodies for a healthy and fulfilling birthing experience.

Based upon the midwifery model of care that recognizes that spontaneous labor in healthy women cannot be improved upon, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth gives expectant mothers comprehensive information on everything from the all-important mind-body connection to how to give birth without technological intervention-as well as how to know when such intervention is necessary.

Filled with inspiring birth stories and practical advice, this invaluable resource includes:

  • Reducing the pain of labor without drugs and the amazing role that touch and free movement play.
  • What really happens during labor.
  • Orgasmic birth-testimonies from those who experienced it.
  • And much more...

To make this short as possible. I’ve heard about this book when I was second time pregnant and read it all through before my birth. There are so many stories here of women birthing beautiful and naturally but as it often goes that doesn’t meet its all smooth and straightforward.
I’ve ended up having suprising home birth as it was really quick this time around but oh my lord. Thank God I’ve read so many stories because I knew exactly what was happening and thankfully I knew this was alll normal what was happening. It really gave me a mental strength thinking about all of these women that have done this before and are doing it literally all over the world!
Incredible book and recommendation 1000% for any woman that is looking to have natural, raw, unmedicated birth ❤️

I’ve got my dream birth thanks to this book!

Wow , I believe such an awesome and amazing informative book should be read by every woman and future mum and also by the man that want to understand and help their woman to be healthy and safe before any step you make in your pregnancy and labour. Knowledge is Power

Truly one of the best book I have ever read

Refreshing to be reminded as an expecting first time mother that my body is built for birthing. Made me question modern day midwifery which seems to add an air of danger to birthing. We need more Ina Mays in the world.

Refreshing
