## Description

Active Birth - Revised Edition: The New Approach to Giving Birth Naturally (Non) : Balaskas, Janet: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Fantastic book for taking control of your birth - Having been to some active birth yoga sessions, I wanted to read more about active birth. Some of what is written is a little on the heavy, 'trying to shock' side, but so much of it makes sense - from an upright (as opposed to lying down) position, to useful movements to help with pain, circulation etc, its a really amazing way to help you to feel as though you are in control of your birth, with the doctors there to support you when you want them to. I really do recommend mothers to be read this - haven't given birth yet, but I'm glad I've found this as its made me feel a lot more prepared, aware of my options and empowered to ask for what I would like.
Review: Great little guide - As a student midwife I know that an active birth is great but not encouraged that often in my trust. This book was really helpful and insightful for my essay on active birth and it's encouragement by midwives. If you are looking to get this book as a fellow student I recommend it and if you are looking to get this book as a pregnant woman wishing to find out more about active birth to make an informed choice for your birth plan, I also recommend. *And recommend being active and upright during labour and the birth! :)*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book for taking control of your birth
*by M***. on 13 January 2014*

Having been to some active birth yoga sessions, I wanted to read more about active birth. Some of what is written is a little on the heavy, 'trying to shock' side, but so much of it makes sense - from an upright (as opposed to lying down) position, to useful movements to help with pain, circulation etc, its a really amazing way to help you to feel as though you are in control of your birth, with the doctors there to support you when you want them to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little guide

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book if you planning on giving birth naturally! Absolutely love it!
*by E***B on 27 April 2017*

After seeing so many good reviews of this book I have decided to try it myself and I am really glad I did. This book is great! As a first timer (in terms of pregnancy) I found it very informative and helped me understand the whole process of labour, preparation and also what exactly "active birth" is about very easily. Really good read, easy to understand and has a very useful set of yoga-based exercises to practice to help deal with labour.
