    This book has helped me loads to get prepared for childbirth. I really wanted to have a natural drug-free birth and was very scared of what was to come.
    This book helped me understand what was going to happen, offered me stories of other women who went through the same things and prepared me for potential difficulties.
    I felt empowered and strong when I was in the hospital and I am very happy and proud to say that by following the breathing techniques and remembering tips from the book have helped me have a natural drug-free birth.

    A fantastic book, totally encouraging of the female body and our power and ability to birth a child. An absolute must read. As relevant today as when it was first published.
