BIRTH WITHOUT FEAR is a passionate and straightforward message of empowerment surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum from a respected and inspirational authority in the pregnancy, birth, and motherhood world. It will fill in the considerable cracks in the information available to women and families, covering care provider choices, medical freedom, birth preparation, birth options, breastfeeding, intimacy, and postpartum depression. In addition, it will show moms, dads, partners, and families how to choose the best provider for them, to trust in themselves and in birth, and to seek the necessary help after that baby has arrived.

It will help partners understand what women are going through, how to support them, and discuss the challenges that they, too, will face, and how to overcome them. This will be the most important book women, and their partners, will ever read as they prepare to welcome a new child into the world. It will shatter long held myths and beliefs surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It will also educate birth care providers about the human beings--not just patients--under their care and how to best prepare them for the changes to come.
