“This is the book every pregnant woman, whether she decides to birth unassisted or not, should have in her library. It is extremely informative, yet inspiring and empowering.” (Julia, labor assistant)

"Home Birth on Your Own Terms provides confidence through first-hand accounts of births AND the appropriate precautions for people to make the best choices for their birth. For anyone considering their birth options, this is an eye opener to see beyond the systemically prescribed birthing process. This book gives another perspective on what is absolutely possible, empowering, safe, and healthy births.” (Vera Kevic, doula)

Felt reperative... but good.

this book is lovely. There were a few times I felt like I started the story back up too far back when I returned to it but I think it was just the information needed to be repeated once again for that particular situation. Great information in this book. I think I'll have to get the physical format to take better notes and review. I highly recommend. 😊

prepared me for my 3rd homebirth, 1st freebirth.

really wish it came with the guide that's often referred to in the book, only makes sense it would be. that's the only flaw. I love this book and all the information.

1980 home birth alone

My third birth was at home alone in 1980. This book is a precious gift to planet earth. Drew was born perfectly and I cleaned up the mess before I awakened anyone with the news. Heavenly Father’s desire was for His children to populate their earth and my body obeyed with great joy!

An eye opener

Went from zero knowledge or understanding of how birth works to being empowered and ready to birth on my own terms. Thank you Heather.
