Beautiful Birth

Suzanne Yates

In many western societies, preparation for birth is often marked by fear and anxiety. Pregnant women are regarded as patients and are ill prepared, physically and emotionally, for the experience ahead. But almost all babies are born to well women and birth is a natural process with which a woman’s body is designed to cope. Certain “tools” can transform your experience of birth, helping to ease pain and make labour and delivery more bearable. These techniques can be learnt and practised at home to help to put you in touch with your body and your baby. Even if medical intervention is required, they can help make the birth a more positive experience.
