One in three births is traumatic.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Rebecca planned to give birth at the hospital affiliated with her university, where she was an award-winning nurse researcher finishing her doctoral degree. But hospital practices and policies that were more than 20 years out of date left her with complications that seemed preventable. Worst for Rebecca, her healthy baby was whisked off to a nursery right away. She spent the first few hours after birth begging to see her own baby!
A few years later and pregnant again, Rebecca put her research skills to work and examined the hard evidence on what went wrong with her first childbirth experience.
She discovered shocking truths that not only impact millions of families every year, but would change the entire course of her life.
Embark on a journey with Rebecca as she exposes the stark realities of institutional care during childbirth and reveals inspirational solutions for parents and professionals alike.

I have always enjoyed listening to birth stories, but when I read that this was a book of Rebecca's birth story, I wasn't sure if I should buy it or not.
You see, I am in the process of becoming certified with DONA to be a birth doula, with hopes of expanding into more birth work as time goes on. I only recently discovered my passion for birth, and I am at the stage where I need to read and draw from knowledge from 'the experts.' I discovered the Evidence Based Birth website a few months back when Rebecca published an article on circumcision. I fell in love with her thorough research and her fearlessness, or I guess I should say courage, at tackling tough topics. More recently I realized my life's calling, and it led me back to her knowledge and wisdom. As I am just starting out, I have to carefully watch where I use my money. A book about her birth story didn't really seem useful for how to operate my business. I decided to take the plunge because I figured with the amount of research she does, there is no way I could come out of this book without having learned something. I was so right.
This book has opened my eyes to so much. I already was aware of issues in material health care, but she still shocked me several times. I felt like I was right there with her, going through the highs and lows of her life's story. I saw some parallels with my life. I cried. I smiled. I was enraged. I really love this book, and I will probably buy the print too to loan to future clients. I admire Rebecca's strength and perseverance with telling her story, and being a frontrunner of evidence based care for birthing women.
