What does every pregnant woman need to know about giving birth in Ireland?
This book is for all those who give birth in Ireland, and for those supporting them. Written by midwives, doulas, mothers and birth partners, this book explains how the maternity system in Ireland works; what the options are; and what it really feels like to birth in this country, whether in hospital or at home.
If you've given birth before, this is the kind of book that you wish you'd read before you had your baby, and reading it now will help you make sense of your experience. If you're a first-time parent, this is the book you need to read before you (or your partner) give(s) birth. If you are a midwife, doctor, or anyone caring for pregnant people and mothers in Ireland, this book will help you serve them better.
The authors are not afraid to tackle uncomfortable truths about the failings of the Irish maternity system, but they also share stories of hope and joy. When you've read the book, you'll know your options, and you'll be on your way to a positive, empowered birth.
