This is a beautifully written book that doesn’t preach or try to tell you what actions and decisions you should take. Sarah Buckley’s book explains why these are the basic needs for an undisturbed birth. ![]() ![]() One of the most important aspects is that the birthing woman feels safe, respected and does not feel observed during her labour also, ideally she would be attended by a midwife that she is familiar with and feels safe with. There are many aspects of preparation, mental, emotional and physical, that are important to ensure that the birthing process unfolds in the optimal way. Skilfully blending ancient wisdom with up-to-date medical research, Sarah explains how a woman’s body is perfectly designed to grow a baby in utero, give birth without assistance and protect and nourish her baby. Some may find it reassuring that she is a family physician and a mother of four home-birthed babies. Sarah Buckley’s book is an authoritative, incredibly well researched, guide to natural childbirth and parenting options.
