Labor of Love: Mothers Share the Joy of Childbirth
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Too often Birth Stories are tales of horror, fear, or disappointment. In this refreshing and reassuring book, nineteen women share with us the other side: positive, joyful birth stories that include water births, C-Sections, VBACs, long labors, painful labors, short labors, and births with and without drugs. Zimmer tells these birth stories in clean, strong prose, and her closing chapters on taking control of your own birth experience will be helpful--and inspirational--to pregnant women or to those planning pregnancy.
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Nineteen mothers share their joyful birth experiences, demonstrating that childbirth can be a fulfilling experience in spite of the pain. An antidote to childbirth horror stories, this collection of real stories empowers women to trust themselves and take control of their bodies and the process of giving birth. Inspired by the author's own positive experience, it includes questions expectant mothers should ask themselves, their doctors and the delivery site. The stories cover natural childbirth, using painkillers, C-sections, VBACs and birth over 40.
