Birth With Confidence will:
Outline the benefits 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.
