About this listen

One in three births is traumatic.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Rebecca planned to give birth at the hospital affiliated with her university, where she was an award-winning nurse researcher finishing her doctoral degree. But hospital practices and policies that were more than 20 years out of date left her with complications that seemed preventable. Worst for Rebecca, her healthy baby was whisked off to a nursery right away. She spent the first few hours after birth begging to see her own baby!

A few years later and pregnant again, Rebecca put her research skills to work and examined the hard evidence on what went wrong with her first childbirth experience.

She discovered shocking truths that not only impact millions of families every year, but would change the entire course of her life.

Embark on a journey with Rebecca as she exposes the stark realities of institutional care during childbirth and reveals inspirational solutions for parents and professionals alike.

A must-read for mums-to-be

This book will prepare you for a number of ways you could possibly be treated during the birthing process, many of which are truly shocking.
Education equals empowerment and this helps you to prepare with an understanding of what you can expect and how to advocate for yourself or a loved one.
Not only for mums-to-be, this book can also provide a massive insight to those in the birth and medical industry in general. Dehumanisation has long been a problem in the medical industry, and all humans deserve to be treated as autonomous humans with the right to informed consent.
I loved this book and highly recommend it.
