Based on the hit documentary that inspired a vibrant online community, this innovative approach to birthing shows women how to maximize childbirth's emotional and physical rewards With more than 4 million babies born in the United States each year, too many women experience birth as nothing more than a routine or painful event. In her much-praised fi lm Orgasmic Birth, acclaimed filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro showed that in fact childbirth is a natural process to be enjoyed and cherished. Now she joins forces with renowned author and activist Elizabeth Davis to offer an enlightening program to help women attain the most empowering and satisfying birth experience possible. While an orgasmic birth can, for some, induce feelings of intense, ecstatic pleasure, it is ultimately about taking control of one's own body and making the most informed decisions to have a safe, memorable, and joyful birth day. Whether women choose to give birth at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing center, Orgasmic Birth provides all the necessary tools and guidance to design the birth plan that's best for them. Featuring inspiring stories from mothers and their partners and filled with practical advice and solutions, this one-of-a-kind resource is the next frontier of natural, intimate childbirth.
Giving birth is a uniquely rewarding experience that for many women represents a powerfully moving physical and emotional accomplishment. Too often, though, the experience is approached with trepidation and even fear, and shaped by external forces. In Orgasmic Birth, childbirth experts Elizabeth Davis and Debra Pascali-Bonaro show that there is a way to recapture the power and intimacy-even discover the ecstatic satisfaction-of the birth process. In this inspiring and practical handbook, they provide comprehensive guidelines for getting the most pleasure out of birth, from pursuing sympathetic prenatal care to choosing the ideal birthing location, tuning into body and mind, reducing stress levels, and avoiding invasive exams and procedures. Enlightening, down-to-earth, and complete with moving stories from mothers who have experienced childbirth on their own terms, as well as from the partners who shared their joy, Orgasmic Birth will help women take control and play an active role in experiencing empowering, memorable births.
