Birth is a rite of passage through which all human beings pass. But for many people the physical realities of labor and birth are confusing and frightening. Why do some women feel deeply empowered by their birth experiences and others feel stripped of their motherhood? Is it safer to give birth in a hospital or at home? Is an elective c-section safe for the mother? Is it safe for the baby? What are the legal rights of the birthing mother? What options are currently available for mothers as to where and how they can labor and give birth? What is the most current scientific evidence telling us about the way in which we treat birth? The answers might surprise you.

BIRTH: The Journey That Shapes Our Lives dramatically demonstrates that birth can and ought to be a developmentally significant process and an empowering and intimate experience for mother and baby. The solution to the question of how to achieve the safest and best birth for everyone lies in the thoughtful use of science and technology working in the service of biology and ancient wisdom. The challenge is whether or not we choose to take that path.
