In many countries around the world, including Australia, intervention rates are well above those recommended by the World Health Organisation and climbing. In Birth with Confidence, I explain why physiological birth is almost impossible in our current birth culture—and what you can do to beat the odds.
Birth With Confidence will:
- Outline the benefits for mothers and babies of physiological birth
- Help you understand how our current birth culture can undermine your intentions for physiological birth
- Explain how the various ‘circles of influence’ around you — from your friends and family to the wider culture — can support or sabotage your birthing potential
- Help you identify your own attitude to pain — your ‘pain type’ — and what it will mean for your birth
- Provide practical and emotional steps you can take to raise your pain tolerance level
- Give you a framework for deciding on the best caregivers and support people to help you work through any ‘crisis of confidence’ during labour.
