Through family story-telling, in this ebook Montse asserts that humans posses an inherited mammalian instinct for birth, similar to animals who seek quiet, safe and private environments. This book also discusses the importance of knowing your options and empowering yourself through education and ancestral wisdom, specially as a BIPOC pregant person.

You will learn how to practice self-palpation to help foster connection with your baby and understand fetal positioning. There´s also a section that breaks down the most common medical interventions and how some of them don´t necessarily improve birth outcomes and can actually increase the likelihood of c-sections.

In the second half of the book you will find many recommendations on how to prepare for birth in general, through answering a series of prompts that will help you reflect on and define the kind of birthing experience you are aiming for. This will also help you curate your birth support team, which includes doctors, midwives, doulas and family.

In this ebook you can also find a list of essentials for birth prepping and several worksheets to help you prepare for postpartum as well.

I hope you find this resource helpful in your journey! With love, Montse.
