Download or read book Birthing from Within written by Pam England and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giving birth is the pivotal moment of a woman's life but it is often treated as a medical procedure, and not as a rite of passage. Birthing from Within offers parents engaging and memorable ways for pregnant women, and their partners, to activate personal, social and spiritual resources that will guide them through labour and afterwards. Many birth classes teach from the 'outside', from the perspective of the professional. Yet, knowledge of anatomy and the stages of labour can often seem irrelevant in the intensity of contraction. The pregnant woman needs to know about labour and birth from her own perspective, she needs to be prepared for birthing from within. Pam England offers a method that allows a woman to fully understand her own strengths and resources. The self-discoveries made during pregnancy makes birth life-enhancing and empowers the future of the family. It is a multi-sensory and holistic approach that aims to make parents feel positively informed about what they are about to experience, confident about the birth of their child. Pain is an inevtiable part of childbirth but Birthing from Within provides resources for building pain-coping confidence in parents. It gives detailed instructions on dealing with normal labour pain and when the humane use of drugs may be called for."--Cover.

They think about how amazing it will be to watch their child grow up and become a fantastic adult. The one thing that is required, though, is not talked about a lot. That's the actual pregnancy. Those nine months plus period changes a woman and her body, and no two women have the exact same experience.

You can worry less about getting pregnant, pregnancy, or the labor process by reading this book. Knowledge is a powerful tool for so many things in life and having a baby is no different. Most of the fear and worry surrounding having a child stems from not knowing what to expect.

Having a baby is a big step in anybody's life, and it should not be taken lightly. It is not something you should rush into, and it is better to be prepared before you get pregnant than be surprised by the pregnancy.
