WHAT MIDWIVES ARE SAYING…
“A must read for all couples preparing for the birth of their child! This compelling work combines the spiritual side of birth – something we all think about but don’t often talk about – with the current evidence about childbirth choices. This book is empowering for women and their families. It reminds us that God loves His daughters – and that He has lovingly designed birth for our blessing and benefit!”
“This book moved me to tears. This book is specifically written for the LDS woman, however I feel that it speaks to everyone regardless of their faith or beliefs. Marie writes beautifully about women’s bodies being created perfectly for birth and about the sacred experience of pregnancy and birth.”

The charts and worksheets included are very helpful in sifting through all the information. The Sacred Gift of Childbirth will increase your faith in God’s love for us and His ability to magnify us through the process of establishing families. It will arm you with the spiritual and scientific power to make the right decisions for your family regarding childbirth. I would have loved to have a book like this when I was pregnant with my first baby.”
