BIRTH SPACE SAFE PLACE
by Adela Stockton (9781844091652)

Birth Space, Safe Place is intended as a companion to the reader's emotional journey through pregnancy, birth and early parenting days. It focuses on the wide spectrum of feelings that may arise for the reader as their baby grows within, as they and their partner face the choices that form an essential part of the journey to parenthood and as they adjust to their new role as a mother. Ways of laying fears to rest, keeping birth gentle and protecting their baby-moon are included, with useful homeopathic remedies and further resources suggested throughout.

The words and imagery in this book embrace the spiritual journey of birth, reminding the reader that a momentous occasion is indeed taking place as they bring new life into the world.

An essential read for parents-to-be, childbirth practitioners and anyone passionate about protecting the natural birth process.

What makes this book special?
Stockton's approach places the mother's emotional and spiritual needs before her physical requirements, proposing that the experience of childbirth has the capacity to nourish rather than deplete the soul.
It encourages the woman to take responsibility for her own birthing process, to surrender to her own instinctive powers rather than those of medical intervention.
It illustrates, in an accessible way, how homeopathy is compatible with the subtle vibration of childbirth, alongside the simple use of remedies during pregnancy, labour and early parenting.

What are the benefits of buying this book?
An understanding that emotional and spiritual wellbeing have a significant impact on physical health, specifically so for the mother and baby around the time of childbirth.
An awareness of how fear can exacerbate pain, and how the birth environment and the people in it can disturb and hinder the normal birth process.
The knowledge that the mother-to-be or new parent is entitled to make the choices that are right for her and her baby, even if these differ from, or are supplementary to, those routinely offered by maternity care.
