The Birth Myths Guide: Break free from birth myths and create your peace

By Emma Black

The ultimate motherhood myths book for a modern generation of mothers, The Birth Myths Guide is the essential companion to The Pregnancy Myths Guide.

The Birth Myths Guide is a psychology-based, research-informed, relatable guide for women who will give birth, or who have already birthed and are holding on to how things 'should' have gone. Childbirth is laden with unrealistic expectations about how things 'should' be. As a significant life event not fully under one's control, it raises multiple challenges.

Clinical and perinatal psychologist Dr Emma Black offers a practical approach to understand helpful truths from unhelpful myths, empowering mothers to become more flexible with expectations, emotions, and experiences as they move towards birth and early parenting.

The book is divided into:

Part One: Eleven birth myths are debunked, giving you the real facts and low-down for a birth free from unnecessary pressures. Part Two: Introduces psychological skills to help you break free from the birth myths interfering with your peace.

You deserve the greatest start to motherhood, and to find your peace before, during, and after birth. This book will make every parent feel less alone and more empowered - because one size does not fit all.
