Childbirth without fear by Grantly Dick-Read Ref: 9780953096466
This is one of the books which inspired Maggie Howell to develop Natal Hypnotherapy.

Even though it was written in 1933, the principles behind the book are still quoted today. The book opens with a story of a young girl giving birth quietly in seclusion at home who looks up at the doctor and says afterwards - "That did not hurt, it wasn't meant to hurt was it?"

The book explores the connection between fear and pain. Grantly Dick-Read explains that "There is no physiological function in the body that gives rise to pain in the normal course of health. In no other animal species is the process of birth apparently associated with any suffering, pain or agony, except where pathology exists or in an unnatural state, such as captivity."

Instinctive Birthing by Val Clarke Ref: 9781904760023
The maternity services in the UK have recently been evaluated and found wanting. This comes as no surprise to Val Clarke, a community midwife and independent practitioner for over 25 years. She’s witnessed first hand the medicalisation of birth and the limitations of the National Health Service - both to the very real detriment of mothers and babies. Yet, even within a system where consistent and good quality antenatal care may be hard to find, the essential theme of her book is that it is possible for all women to have the births they want.

Though some women may feel more comfortable with a high-tech experience, others with a water birth, and still others with a caesarean, all women will have more successful birthing experiences if throughout their pregnancies, labours and deliveries, they are acting in concert with their instincts. Those feelings that can tell a woman if her baby is healthy, labour positions to adopt, even the right time to push!
