An Easier Childbirth: A Mothers Guide for Birthing Normally

Childbirth should be one of the most joyful experiences in a woman's life. All too frequently it is one of the most fearful. Gayle Peterson, a nationally recognized leader in the field of perinatal psychology, prepares the mother-to-be for the most positive experience possible, utilizing a childbirth preparation method based on medical research that shows emotional factors to be important in a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Guided imagery, visualization, and journal writing help the mother-to-be learn ways of yielding comfortably and safely into the entire childbirth process.
