BIRTH
EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH THEIR CHILDBIRTH CHOICES
For all women with healthy pregnancies who want to arm themselves with knowledge and avoid unnecessary interventions.
Author and mother Sonia Killik, urges and empowers expectant mothers to take back control of their bodies and their births. In a medicated world dominated by caesareans, interventions and impersonality, this step-by-step guide navigates the world of childbirth procedures. It provides an in-depth account of all the options available to expectant women – from midwives and doulas, home and hospital births, and all the drugs and interventions in between, leaving the reader fully-equipped, knowledgeable and ready to choose the method of their baby’s birth. By sharing her own personal experience of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, this book is an honest, empowering and highly readable guideline to childbirth.
If you read only one book before birthing your child, this should be it
- Learn about each birthing method available to you
- How your birthing choice affects your baby and yourself
- Pre and post birth guides and support
- Breastfeeding and formula choices
An absolute must read for every woman and her birth partner preparing for birth. I am a firm believer in knowledge is power, and this book is so empowering! Killik covers every aspect of childbirth, looking at it from many different angles and returning to history and how the way we used to birth has changed so drastically. The author has a wonderful way of likening birth events and choices to everyday situations we are familiar with, making it almost impossible for this book not to open your mind. Her book is extremely well laid out and well written. The author speaks right to you and keeps you hanging on every word, wanting more knowledge, more information, and more empowerment. We need more honest, real, and well-researched books you can relate to on birth like this one.
