Birth
This is a list of recommended resources for childbirth provided by my guests and my own personal experience with giving birth to my children. One of the most important aspects of pregnancy is preparing for the birth of your baby. I recommend listening to birth stories and investing time in reading books that prepare you for childbirth. Be sure to check out our birth, breastfeeding, postpartum and motherhood resources.
