Overview

'Four natural births!' This is a common reaction to the author when she tells people of her experiences. Cultures across the globe are so detached from birthing naturally but in this clearly written and simple book, compiled from the author's own experience, with support from her own midwife, Katrina Caslake, and stories from other women who have done it you can find out how you can birth your baby naturally. You will discover how to prepare yourself mentally, physically and emotionally to have your own natural birth, and to explore your options. While 20% of women may need some medical intervention to birth their babies safely, 80% can safely birth naturally. But why would they choose too? This little book tells you in a very straightforward way why you would choose a natural birth and offers advice as to how to prepare yourself in the best way possible, with ideas and tips from a wide range of methods. One of the most difficult aspects of pregnancy is how other people love to tell their birth stories, but they are not always the birth stories you want to hear! In this book, Caroline and Katrina share a selection of birth stories so you can hear from the women who have gone before you. Like the rest of the book, the stories are honest, direct and sometimes amusing.

Caroline Richards is a passionate advocate of birth as it should be. I commend her dedication to supporting and empowering women through her work. Lucy Pearce, contributing editor JUNO magazine, Birthing from Within mentor and mother of three When a 21st century woman is preparing for childbirth, she does a lot of research. She takes a course, reads textbooks and sees many medical practitioners. But dwarfing all of these in importance, the most critical source of birth wisdom is other women's birth stories. Nothing else comes even close in terms of value, relevance and meaningfulness. But then there's a problem: For one reason or another, the women who had traumatic, unusual, or complicated births seem to get all the limelight. Those are the stories that appear in the media, that get focused on in the textbooks, that are repeated in hushed whispers during coffee mornings. What we could do with hearing are the great yet normal ones, the ones that went as nature intended, the ones that women have been capable of and pulling off since the dawn of the species. So that's why the book is needed. Why is Caroline the woman to write it? That's simple inspiration. Lots of people do amazing things. Only a few of them can also inspire those around them to do amazing things as well Caroline is one of those. Caroline's voice is inspirational, without any condescension or gimmickry. She has told her own birth experiences in a way that feels relevant to any expectant mother, and she has collected other voices and stories that complement hers. In an age when we no longer grow up in a tribe that preserves and continuously passes on a collective maternal wisdom, this book is a must. Dina Westenholz-Smith, Mum of three, Magistrate Caroline Richards has written the book that is missing from the mainstream market. A book that contains real, success stories from women who have chosen home births and have enjoyed and benefited from that experience. While there are books 'out there', which present home birth from a professional's point of view, as one of the options available to women today, there is a distinct lack of real stories of unproblematic, gentle, easeful and even ecstatic, in their essence, home births, written from the point of view of the woman. These are the kind of stories very much needed in our culture today and the ones other women need to hear and be inspired by. This gap is bridged by this book. Dafni Milioni, Ph.D, Counselling Psychologist and Yoga teacher, mother to two homebirthed children I have had the pleasure and the privilege of being the author's midwife since the beginning of her first pregnancy and I believe she is the most qualified person to have written this book, it will become a must have on the reading list of every woman who has ever thought about having a baby naturally, a straightforward natural approach to a straightforward natural event. I will recommend it to every woman planning a natural birth that I come into contact with. Katrina Caslake, Yours Maternally Independent Midwifery, mother of 2 and grandmother
