From the Introduction
Choosing an unmedicated birth is a decision that people rarely make without strong feelings from the world around them — for it or against it. What actually happens in the room, and in the body and mind of the person giving birth without pharmacological pain relief, is something only those who have done it can describe from the inside.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty people write about their unmedicated births: the preparation, the labour itself, the moments of doubt and the moments of something harder to name, and the way they felt about the experience in the hours and weeks that followed. The accounts are varied — home births, hospital births, straightforward labours and complicated ones — and none of them flatten what actually happened.

Who it's for

For those planning or considering an unmedicated birth, those curious about what the experience is genuinely like, and birth partners and families who want to understand what it asks of a person.
