Journey into Motherhood is filled with proven secrets and
techniques for pregnant and birthing women, including:
o How you can experience painless labor
o Insights and advice from women who've been there
o Options for easing labor and delivery-including yoga, doulas,
hypnosis and water birth

As a childbirth educator, Sheri Menelli came face to face with
the effects of childbirth "horror stories" on expectant
women. Fear and anxiety about labor and delivery are passed from
woman to woman
but the tide is turning.
Childbirth does not have to be painful and frightening. The culture
of fear surrounding childbirth in the U.S. is shifting, and women
are eager to share their inspiring stories of wonderful birth experiences.
This heartwarming collection offers 48 true stories of natural
birth, told in the mothers' own voices. As diverse as the women
who wrote them, the stories include hospital births, home births,
unassisted births, emergency deliveries, births attended by young
siblings, outdoor births and more.
Journey into Motherhood will guide you to have the kind of birth
that YOU want. No matter what kind of birth you choose, this book
is for you.
"What a fabulous book. All women and girls need to hear
these stories and know, really know, that natural birth is full
of magnificent, life-changing wisdom."
Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
and The Wisdom of Menopause
I have enjoyed so very much reading Journey into Motherhood.
To me it is a contemporary version of the birth stories featured
in "Spiritual Midwifery"......it is very informative with
valuable tips and advice from each mother after their story. It
has created an inspirational foundation, motivation and a deeper
understanding of home birth and natural birth.
I highly recommend it.

"In today's maternity care climate of soaring rates of
labor inductions, epidurals, and cesarean deliveries, these inspiring
stories of natural childbirth show that childbirth can and should
be safe, empowering and beautiful. All pregnant women, especially
those who have been frightened by or resigned to medically managed
birth. . . , should read this book."
- Penny Simkin, co-author, When Survivors Give Birth: Understanding
and Healing the Effects of Early Sexual Abuse on Childbearing Women
