Journey into Motherhood: Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth

Order NOW!

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

o A resource guide to childbirth classes, magazines, websites and audios/videos.

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.”

-- Gurmukh, Director

"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
