An inclusive, non-judgmental, and empowering guide to pregnancy,
childbirth, and postpartum life that puts mothersfirst, offering
straightforward guidance on all the options and issues that matter most
to them (and their partners) when preparing for a baby.
In Birth Without Fear, January Harshe--founder of the global online
community Birth Without Fear--delivers an honest, positive, and
passionate message of empowerment surrounding everything that involves
having a baby. It's a guide that fills in the considerable cracks in the
information available to women and families when they're preparing to
welcome a child--covering care provider choices, medical freedom, birth
options, breastfeeding, intimacy, postpartum depression, and much more.
Birth Without Fear shows moms, dads, partners, and families how to
choose the best provider for them, how to trust in themselves and the
birth process, and how to seek the necessary help after the baby has
arrived. In addition, it will educate them about their rights--and how
to use their voice to exercise them--as well as how to cope with the
messy postpartum feelings many people aren't willing to talk about.
Unlike other pregnancy books, Birth Without Fear will also help
partners understand what mothers are going through, as well as discuss
the challenges that they, too, will face--and how they can navigate
them.
Shattering long-held myths and beliefs surrounding pregnancy, birth, and
the postpartum experience, Birth Without Fear is an accessible,
reassuring, and ultimately inspiring guide to taking charge of
pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.
