Summary
This guide emphasizes the natural strength of the female body during childbirth and dispenses with frills. Following famous personalities such as Michel Odent, Ina May Gaskin and their views on birth, I would like to encourage women to trust their instincts and inner resources. By emphasizing the importance of relaxation and support, this guide offers a holistic perspective on birth. In addition, Dr. Dick-Read’s findings on the fear-tension-pain theory are deepened and the unique structure of the female pelvis is explained. I also share birth experiences from the perspective of a midwife and mother.
