_FINALLY, AN EASY TO USE MANUAL FOR THE EXPECTANT MOTHER TO PREPARE
FOR YOUR CHILDBIRTH,__THAT GIVES YOU GUARANTEED RESULTS…._
“ARE YOU UNPREPARED FOR YOUR LABOR?
DO YOU FEEL DAUNTED BY THE ORDEAL YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO BIRTH
YOUR BABE?
DISCOVER THE EASY, SAFE WAY TO HAVE AN EMPOWERING AND AMAZING BIRTH
EXPERIENCE,”
HERE IS A SIMPLE RECIPE TO HELP YOU FEEL IN CONTROL.
It Can Give You The Confidence You Need
To Have The Birth You Deserve.
DEAR EXPECTANT MOTHER,Have you ever wondered why it is that some
women can go through labor & say “What’s all the fear & fuss
about?”, while many end up screaming for an epidural? Do you really
think it comes down to something as elusive as ‘luck’, or _DO YOU
THINK PERHAPS IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH HOW WELL PREPARED THE WOMAN IS?_
Many people compare childbirth to running a marathon. Consider, if
you were going to take part in a marathon would you wait until the
day, hoping that your body would go the distance? Or would you begin
training weeks or months beforehand, increasing your fitness & your
mental abilities to deal with the trials of a marathon? The more
prepared a marathon runner is, the better you would expect them to
perform on the day, & the faster they would recover from the rigors of
a long padding: 8px; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(238,

I am a trained Natural Health Care provider & the mother of two
adorable boys. I have been blessed with two empowering, natural births
that were truly the most amazing experiences of my life. You may still
be thinking, “Oh, she was just lucky,” but in fact luck had very
little to do with why my childbirths were such wonderful, life
affirming experiences.
I have spent thousands of hours pouring over as much material as I
can find on what MAKES FOR A POSITIVE BIRTH EXPERIENCE, & I realize
now that while preparing for my own births I got the ‘recipe’
right. There are many factors that create an easy birth, & it was ONLY
BY HAVING EACH ‘PART OF THE RECIPE’ IN PLACE that an incredible
birth experience took place, for not just one, but both my
childbirths.
So what is this ‘recipe’? I hear you ask. A good part of it is
knowledge. KNOWLEDGE that gives you the POWER TO MAKE THE RIGHT
DECISIONS FOR YOU, \">SO MANY MOTHERS HAVE GRUELING AND TRAUMATIC
BIRTHS.
ARE YOU AFRAID THAT YOU MAY BE ONE OF THEM?
It’s true that many women have horrific births, & it can make it
hard to believe in your own ability to have an uncomplicated birth
when so many birth stories can leave you feeling terrified, with deep
fear for the labor & birth that you will inevitably have to go through
yourself.
_It is so very important to understand that if you let your fear get
the better of you this is actually increasing the chance that what you
fear may well become your reality._
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY TO HELP EXPLAIN…
Angela was 40 weeks pregnant. She had been busy with work right up
until the week before, & had tried hard not to think too much about
the scary ordeal of giving birth, believing that if she didn’t think
about it then maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. As she was eating her
dinner she began to feel period-like cramping pain, which increased in
intensity as the evening passed. She’s was feeling a little
apprehensive that labor had begun, but her contractions continued &
became strong & regular. She & her husband went to the hospital & on
arrival she went through the admission procedures, had an internal
examination & was hooked up to an ECG machine.
But once she was at the hospital her contractions were coming further
apart & were not as strong. After several hours the midwife came & did
another internal examination. Finding that the dilation has progressed
little she decided to speed things up by rupturing the membranes
around baby. This made the pain of the contractions much more intense,
which she was not prepared for. She was worried that she’d soon lose
control of the situation, & her husband was really not sure of the
best way to support her. He’d never seen her like this, & was quite
frankly scared himself!
Not knowing what else to do she asked for pain relief. She got an
epidural & an IV infusion & catheter was set up. Now Angela was numb
from the waist down, but couldn’t move from the bed. Unfortunately
babies often react to the effects of epidurals, so an electrode was
attached to the babies scalp to monitor his heart rate. All this
commotion caused Angela’s contractions to be ineffective & dilation
progressed slowly, so she was given Pitocin to speed things up.
After 8 hours Angela reached full dilation, but she was so exhausted
& the effects of the epidural meant she couldn’t push effectively.
Baby had developed some fetal distress & was not coming down the birth
canal fast enough, so the Obstetrician performed an episiotomy,
cutting from her vagina towards her anus, & forceps were used to
deliver her baby. Baby was slightly feverish so antibiotics were
administered & he was uninterested in suckling. Angela was grateful
her baby was basically healthy, but felt exhausted & detached from
him. She felt cheated, like her body had let her down & her confidence
& self esteem were diminished. It took a long time for her episiotomy
scar to heal, \" TITLE=\"RECIPE\"

ALT=\"\" WIDTH=\"110\" HEIGHT=\"110\" />
IT IS NOT JUST ANY INFORMATION, BUT SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL HELP
YOU GET YOUR OWN RECIPE RIGHT TO CREATE THE BIRTH YOU DESIRE.
You may wonder, how can information change how a birth progresses??
Let’s look at Angela’s story. She was having an uncomplicated
labor, but unfortunately _she was not prepared for childbirth._ She
did not have information to help her make decisions. She had NO MENTAL
OR PHYSICAL TOOLS to help her deal with painful contractions. HER
SUPPORT PERSON DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SUPPORT HER. She had not dealt with
her fears around giving birth. She did not know how to help her body
make her NATURAL PAIN RELIEVING HORMONES. All of this changed the
course of her labor. In short, she sadly did not have a recipe for an
uncomplicated labor.
I bet you are wondering what Angela could have done differently.
Did you know that the process of childbirth is actually orchestrated
by a range of hormones produced by the mother? And that these hormones
are affected by numerous factors that the birthing mother _can_
control? Because Angela was unprepared for labor she let her fear get
the better of her. This threw her in to the FEAR-TENSION-PAIN-CYCLE:
her fear made her tense up (physically & mentally), which increased
her pain, which confirmed her fears… & the cycle continued to the
point where she was no longer in control of her labor & required
interventions. _This Fear-Tension-Pain-Cycle blocked her body’s
production of helpful hormones, & increased her production of stress
hormones, both of which reduced the effectiveness of contractions "
title="cycle"
src="http://prepare-for-childbirth.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cycle.png"
alt="" width="64" height="64" />
If Angela had known about how she can affect what hormones she
produces she could have made choices that kept her laboring hormones
going strong, & _her labor could have continued unhindered._
Anyway, enough about Angela, we are here because you are pregnant
\">SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR YOU, AS AN EXPECTANT MOTHER?
There are, of course, various options. There are oodles of websites
that talk about labor & birth, that you could spend weeks getting lost
in, as are there hundreds of books that give you there own perspective
on ‘how’ to birth. Then of course there are the well-meaning
friends & family that think they know it all because they have been
through it already. Your local hospital will likely have pre-natal
classes that will breeze briefly over various topics, & probably leave
you with more questions & concerns than you went in with.
And then there is the Prepare For Childbirth book, which has been
well researched using those oodles of websites "

LET’S HEAR HOW ‘PREPARE FOR CHILDBIRTH’ HELPED SHERRIE’S
BIRTH.
Sherrie was 41 weeks pregnant when she began having contractions in
the afternoon. They continued to increase in frequency & intensity, so
they headed to her mother-in-laws to be closer to her chosen place of
birth. After eating her evening meal she talked to her midwife, & as
soon as she got off the phone her waters broke. Unfortunately the
waters were stained with meconium- baby’s first poo, which is a sign
of possible fetal distress. Her midwife told her to come to the birth
centre, where she did an internal examination, & found she was 5cm
dilated. As this was a low risk birth place Sherrie needed to be
transported to a larger hospital, so an ambulance was called for. In
the hour long trip to the larger hospital Sherrie used some of the
mental relaxation exercises that are taught in ‘Prepare For
Childbirth’, & her labor continued to progress well. On arrival at
the hospital Sherrie was given another internal examination, she was
7cm dilated, & she was strapped to an ECG machine to monitor baby’s
heart rate (due to the meconium staining). Despite becoming a higher
risk birth Sherrie maintained her focus & continued to practice the
specific relaxation techniques she found worked for her, & use
positions that eased her labor pain & sped her labor along, & in less
than 1 hour she’d reached full dilation & her baby Archie was born
half an hour later, showing no further signs of fetal distress.
You can see how in this potentially very stressful situation is would
be so easy to let the fear ">because Sherrie had tools she felt
confident in using she was able to have an uncomplicated, medication
free birth._

HERE’S WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE PREPARE FOR CHILDBIRTH
E-BOOK …
“PREPARE FOR CHILDBIRTH” IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ANY MOTHER TO
BE. It gives a thorough yet easy to understand description of the
underlying physiology of pregnancy and birth and very nicely sums up
the close interplay between the psychological, hormonal and physical
aspects of labour. Ivy Young acknowledges that every birth is
individual and its path may at times be unpredictable. She provides a
solid knowledge base to keep women and their support people informed
of the procedures and choices they may encounter during antenatal care
and labour, and when and where these may be appropriate.
As a doctor who has worked in a maternity unit, reading this book
gave me a new perspective on the “primal” aspect of birth which
resonated with me strongly as a mother and makes perfect sense in
terms of how it affects our perception of pain and the progress of
labour. The author gives many sound and practical suggestions how
every woman can prepare herself in the best possible way to stay
within her primal self and allow the natural process of birth to occur
and be an empowering and joyful experience.

"I WOULD RECOMMEND PREPARE FOR CHILDBIRTH TO OTHER EXPECTANT MUMS ">I
felt confident, educated and prepared. The birth was easy and I used
many
strategies recommended in the book. Having a deeper awareness of the
birthing process after reading 'Prepare for Childbirth' helped me
feel more confident and relaxed!"
- Tamlin Mackenzie, mother of three.
-------------------------
"Expecting my 4th baby, I considered myself a seasoned birther, so
when I read 'Prepare for Childbirth' I was stunned to glean some very
useful tips that I actually used in my birth. Especially the
information about the stress-busting power of touch. Both being
touched and touching!!! Ivy Young has sifted through volumes of
birthing literature and reduced this down to a concise, relevant and
valuable birthing book. Thank you Ivy, for your essential contribution
to my fourth and final birth, a lovingly supported birth - healing
previous birthing traumas."
- Kelly Dick, mother to 4 sons.
-------------------------
"Thanks Ivy, your book is easy to read and explains things really
well. I appreciated the section on homeopathics and the ones I can use
during and after labour."
- Helene, expectant 1st time mother
-------------------------
Hi Ivy,
I've just been reading your books and they are excellent. Good on
you. I think that they will be a great help to women as they are real
and practical. The parts on pain and helpful hormones are clear and
positive, it is good to shed light on these topics.
I'll be recommending your books to women.
Love and best wishes,
Andrea, Midwife ">how reassuring Ivy is. I find some birth writers
imply that a birth which involves intervention, a caesarian or other,
is a failure to you and your baby. It's a very upsetting message to
send to new mothers, if things didn't go to plan. Ivy is not one of
these writers. She manages to inform you, so that you are educated and
prepared for any possibility that life throws at you, and her goal
seems to be just to help you to have the best birth possible for you.
I know that I did, and I will cherish those birth experiences forever.
Thank you Ivy!Marissa Treichel, mother or two.
