Rated 4 starsgood book addressing psychological aspects of pregnancy and birth
Your thoughts, feelings, and past history / trauma will affect your birth. This book is a good exploration of that.

You can let go, birthing safe and natural without problems. ~Shauna Schoenborn

Rated 5 starswhat a great book for the birthing community!

In my opinion it is very well written, and there is some relevant information for anyone who is in the birthing community!
