The Little Book of Positive Birth Stories is a collection of thirty positive birth stories brought together in a beautiful book to offer positivity and confidence to anyone about to give birth.

'Glorious, uplifting and empowering' – Giovanna Fletcher

The idea of giving birth can be daunting, if not outright terrifying. So many of the stories we hear about birth are negative or frightening. However, many women and birthing people feel positive and satisfied after their births, regardless of how they have unfolded. Reading positive birth stories during pregnancy can help women feel calm, confident, and prepared, increasing the chances that they will have an experience to look back on positively.

Collected here by doula and hypnobirthing coach Claire Fulton are thirty true stories from a diverse group of ordinary people, representing a wide array of experiences. There are hospital births and home births; inductions, caesareans, and vaginal deliveries. Although things don't always go quite to plan, with moments of surprise, frustration, and unexpected comedy, all of these stories deliver comfort, reassurance, and a happy ending.
