It is helpful to prepare for pregnancy and parenting by reading stories and hearing experiences from other women. Every situation is unique, and every woman deserves to feel comfortable with her own birth. This is a collection of unique and personal pregnancy and birthing stories, written by mothers, gathered, compiled and edited by Joanna Becker. Inside these pages are humorous, entertaining, and microscopically detailed accounts of how women gave birth within a hospital setting under the care of a practising midwife and/or obstetrician. It is sure to complete your pregnancy with intrigue, a bit of curiosity and a sense of calm that you are as unique as each of the women in this book, as well as complement your resources on childbirth.
