Over the last few years, more and more women have been resisting the allure of ?labor-free” elective C-sections in favor of the benefits of natural childbirth. Not only is it widely considered the best and safest way to deliver a child, natural childbirth empowers women by reinforcing their belief in themselves and their abilities. In Adventures in Natural Childbirth, editor Janet Schwegel taps into this growing movement with a fascinating collection of personal, engaging, and revealing stories from thirty-nine women on their journey through pregnancy, labor, and natural childbirth. These women's tales capture the full range of emotions and physical sensations natural childbirth can evoke?from calm to fear, from elation to pain, and everything in between?and give readers a true sense of the joys and the hardships involved. Divided into sections by caregiver (midwife, doula, physician, or unattended) and complete with essays from practitioners on their roles in natural birth and how they help women achieve their goals, Adventures in Natural Childbirth is essential reading for any woman who is considering?or is simply curious about?giving birth naturally.

The classic guide to an unmedicated childbirth, fully revised for the twenty-first century—with updated information and attractive new illustrations and photos throughout. For women birthing vaginally, 90% of Bradley births are drug-free! The Bradley Method®, used and praised by women for almost seventy years, prepares you for drug and surgery-free childbirth and puts you in control by providing the tools to navigate evidence-based care. Certified childbirth educator Susan McCutcheon, one of Dr. Bradley’s first students, now makes this natural approach to childbirth more accessible than ever. You will learn: • Exercises and nutrition to get your body ready for birthing • To defuse fear by understanding all aspects of laboring • How to involve your partner as a birth coach and a fully engaged participant • What’s driving the induction epidemic and how to avoid an unnecessary induction • What’s driving the cesarean surgery epidemic and how to reduce your risk • How to get the information you need to make informed decisions about your birth “The Bradley Method’s simple objective, through relaxation, breathing, and visualization, is a birth free of the interventions frequently offered to women in the different stages of childbirth: fetal monitors, drug-induced labor, anesthesia, episiotomy, and Caesarean section. (Its) other defining feature, the husband’s active participation in the delivery, is critical to this overall goal of an intervention-free birth.”—Mothering

An authoritative guide to natural childbirth and postpartum parenting options from an MD who home-birthed her own four children. Sarah Buckley might be called a third-wave natural birth advocate. A doctor and a mother, she approaches the question of how a woman and baby might have the most fulfilling birth experience with respect for the wisdom of both medical science and the human body. Using current medical and epidemiological research plus women's experiences (including her own), she demonstrates that what she calls "undisturbed birth" is almost always healthier and safer than high-technology approaches to birth. Her wise counsel on issues like breastfeeding and sleeping during postpartum helps extend the gentle birth experience into a gentle parenting relationship.

It's a much-needed manifesto for a new generation of young women who have been misled by over-medicalization and popular media messages that somehow modern females are "too posh to push." It's an important book that will help parents tap into the confidence they need during this transformative time." - Prof. Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, CWP Clinical Medical Anthropologist Chair, California Institute of Integral Studies "What I really appreciate is that Find Your Birth Joy is written by a new mama. She is close to her own birth experience and speaks from an honest and heartfelt place. Empowered by the birth of her daughter, Sarah offers a practical and thoughtful handbook for natural childbirth full of tips, tools and practices to guide pregnant women through the preparation for birth. I absolutely recommend this book for women who are looking for a guide to a more connected, conscious and natural birth." - Jane Austin, childbirth educator, prenatal and postnatal teacher and trainer, and founder, Mama Tree Prenatal Yoga School "Wisdom passed from mother-to-mother is arguably one of the best ways a woman can prepare for childbirth, but sometimes you hear more of the bad than the good. Find Your Birth Joy is a positive and empowering guide to preparing for childbirth that will speak equally to your head and to your heart." Bryn Huntpalmer, founder, The Birth Hour podcast "A powerful and unique guide for women. Highlighting that everyone deserves a joyful birth!" - Maria A. Iorillo, LM, CPM
