Book Recommendations

Books are one of my top recommendations of ways to prepare for birth. There’s a wealth of information and experience written down; we just need to tap into it! Below are some of my faves…several that I’ve already read and a few that are on my to-read list.

My Top Recommendations:

• Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth  (by Ina May Gaskin)
• HypnoBirthing (by Marie Mongan)
• Real Food for Pregnancy (by Lily Nichols)
• Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way (by Susan McCutcheon)
• The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth (by Henci Goer)
• The Gift of Giving Life (by Felice Austin, Lani Axman, et al.)
