Subject: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering now!
Dear friends
I am excited to tell you that my book,
Gentle Birth, Gentle
Mothering: The wisdom and science of gentle choices in pregnancy,
birth, and parenting is now in my webshop and available for
purchase at
http://www.sarahjbuckley.com/shop/
I am thrilled with the production of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering.
The lush cover (artwork by Durga Bernhard) reflects the beauty and
gentleness of birth and mothering, and the cover colours are vibrant
with vegetable-based inks. Inside, the layout and design are pleasing,
and the 100% recycled paper gives the book a lovely feel
I am also getting wonderful feedback about the content, and it is so
good to have all my best articles in one place. All of those mothers,
grandmothers, professional, parents who have emailed me with questions
about Lotus birth, homebirth, cord clamping after cesarean, cord blood
banking, ecstatic birth, co-sleeping, breastfeeding (and much more) can
now find the answers! There are also articles about the safety of
ultrasound and epidurals (a longer version of the article in the
current Mothering), breech birth, caesareans, prenatal testing for Down
syndrome, yoga and motherhood, raising babies without nappies/diapers
and lots of my own stories.
You can read Ina May Gaskin’s words of wisdom in the foreword – I was
privileged to chair a panel at the recent APPPAH conference in San
Diego on care during labour, which included Ina May (upcoming blog!).
Ina’s foreword is a great rave about the spread of birth fright vs the
birth-giving capacities of our bodies.
