Review: Great book - Lovely book, really recommend it Review: Helped me trust myself - A very useful book, which allowed me to be confident about my choices during labour. I had one child and then twins. In both cases had to give birth in the hospital with strong monitoring. But both times had very fast labour (4 hours), no painkillers other than gas and vaginal delivery. And if the midwifes had it there way I would lay still on the bed. But after reading this book I knew the birth was a movement, and a different one depending on the stage. So it gave me confidence to trust what my body tells me to do, to switch off the mind and move. I was on my knees, I was standing, I was sitting in different positions, which made the midwives quite upset, but it all helped me enormously. I am so grateful to the authors for their hard work.

For anyone working with pregnant women and women during labour and birth, this book is a game changer. The detailed explanations of the physiology, anatomy and mobility of the pelvis during pregnancy and labour are complimented by "find it on yourself' instructions that further awareness for a careprovider, nurse or doula. Great illustrations. I would highly recommend this book be added to your library.

It is a technical but important book in understanding the correlation between the pelvis, uterus and muscles within to know how is going on at birth.

I got this book as part of my doula training to better understand the mechanics of the pelvis during labor. It’s clear, detailed, and easy to follow, with helpful illustrations that make complex anatomy understandable. The book explains how the pelvis works during birth and offers practical tips for positions and movements to make labor easier and gentler. I especially appreciated the focus on hands-on techniques that I can use with clients. Overall, it’s a must-have for anyone studying childbirth or preparing for a natural birth.
