Why I Had a Home-Birth Nicole Lili

All women fear childbirth and none more than me. I wanted to be drugged and wake up with a baby in my arms. The idea of giving birth without drugs, was not an option. And yet, once I started researching, in order to fight that uncontrollable terror and fear, I realized that childbirth was this bogeyman that was man made, and once we let our bodies take over, and let them do what they were designed for, childbirth can be an empowering, loving experience and that it is nothing as they describe it to be. This booklet will show you in simplified ways what I found out. I wanted it light, quick to read, with a touch of humor, in order to reassure moms to be, and maybe entice them to do their own research before succumbing to the rumors and the bad rep childbirth has. It is not a book about convincing, but about lifting a veil and let you see there are several ways of bringing a child into this world. I hope it will comfort you, make you laugh, raise some awareness, and make you see yourself in a different way, now that you are engaging into a significant transformation.
