Review
It is a thought-provoking book, which consists entirely of birth stories told by women, their families and the childbirth professionals involved in their care. The variety of stories offers the reader a humanised view of women s experiences. The stories are diverse, and they are told as felt and seen by the storyteller ... This book would be useful to those looking for an insight into experiences that they themselves have not encountered, or who would like to read someone else s description of a similar experience ... For anyone interested in reading birth stories, or looking at ways to support and understand childbirth from the mother s and the carer s perspective this is a fascinating and useful book. --Janine King, New Digest magazine
