For the past seven years the author has been teaching thousands of expectant mothers and couples her own mind/body approach. In this book, she reveals how a woman can reclaim control over childbirth and experience it as a miracle of life rather than a dreaded medical procedure. The book lays out a number of birthing options and suggests that the reader devise her own delivery and child-bearing plan. In it the author offers the practical, emotional, and physiological strategies for making childbirth a less frightening and more fulfilling experience. By explaining how to regulate the release of certain chemicals and hormones in the body during labor and delivery, she shows the reader that she can have a peaceful birthing process that is low in pain. Spatafora teaches the expectant mother how to draw up a birthing plan, instructs her in meditation, affirmations, visualizations and exercises, and shows her how to communicate with her baby.
