"Into My Hands" is an intimate and inspiring memoir that delves into the life of a passionate midwife, tracing her path from childhood to her fulfilling career in midwifery. This poignant narrative was born from a transformative moment in the author's early twenties, following a traumatic birth experience with her own daughter. It was then that she resolved to put an end to birth trauma and dedicate her life to supporting women during the sacred journey of childbirth. With a background as a labor and delivery nurse and a nurse-midwife, she embarked on a remarkable journey to achieve her mission. In her role, she went above and beyond to provide comfort, aid, and unwavering reassurance to mothers in their birthing moments. "Into My Hands" is not only a personal account but also a tribute to the countless mothers she had the privilege to work with, as they generously share their own unique birth stories. This memoir beautifully captures the profound impact of having a midwife's skilled and caring hands present during childbirth. It's a testament to the strength, resilience, and the incredible bond that forms between midwives and the women they serve. Through this book, readers will gain a deep appreciation for the transformative power of compassionate care during one of life's most extraordinary experiences.

Life is full of ups and downs for all of us. This is no different for Kate Dahl and her family. Her parents had a rocky marriage, which led to heartache and worry in her young life. She went away to college on her own with all the worries and fear that come with it. Next, with three days' notice, she got a job teaching school, and off she went to start this adventure with much trepidation and worry. This turned out to be a great blessing as she met and married her husband, Kent, during this time. For the next thirty-seven years, their lives have been full of much joy as they laughed and played together with their five children, and now with their fifteen grandchildren. There have also been moments of such devastation that moving forward in a positive way was incredibly difficult. There was a fire, a tornado and unimaginable loss along the way. All of these hard things made Kate feel as though there would never be joy again in her life. This is her story of how she used her faith to keep pressing forward and, after years of struggle, feel true joy again.

Yvette Allen-Campbell and Dr. Suzanne Greenidge-Hewitt have created the ultimate pregnancy guide for today's black woman. Most pregnancy books are geared towards white culture in language and approach as well as health issues. While most of the development is the same regardless of race, there are health and cultural issues specific to women of color. But the biggest point of difference is a book written by black women- an educator and a top doctor - for black women. Black, Pregnant and Loving It includes information on the specific health issues common to pregnant black women, from hyperventilating to dehydration, as well as skin and hair concerns. You'll learn how to select a doctor or midwife, which diet is best for you and your baby, how to identify your body's needs as well as a month-by-month view of what to expect. In addition, there are also flashbacks to older methods of childbirth and black folk myths and superstitions.Overall this is a complete pregnancy guide rooted in modern science for the health and well-being of the black community.

In Your Best Birth, internationally known advocates of informed choice Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein inspire women to take back the birth experience, with essential advice on: Positive and negative effects of epidurals, Pitocin, and other drugs and interventions Inducing vs. allowing your labor to progress naturally The truth behind our country's staggering C-section rate Assembling your birth team and creating your birth plan.

It is a nostalgic collection of memories that the author has lovingly recalled from childhood into adulthood with all of the ups and downs that occur in between. Dee Elle started her nursing career as a student and worked her way up to the lofty position of matron. Those were the days when the National Health Service was working at its best; where consultants were considered gods and matrons ruled the wards with no nonsense and an iron fist. Down Memory Lane is full of entertaining life stories that some will find reminiscent and others inspirational.

On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby’s life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if—as Sibyl's assistant later charges—the patient wasn't already dead? The ensuing trial bears the earmarks of a witch hunt, forcing Sibyl to face the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience. Exploring the complex and emotional decisions surrounding childbirth, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!
