Books & Other Resources
One of my favorite childbirth books! Ina May Gaskin is the nation’s leading midwife, has delivered over 2000 babies on her Farm in Tennessee, and her insight into the labor and birth process is so powerful! I highly recommend this book!
This book is full of weekly advice and tips for a healthy pregnancy! Howland details vital nutrition to take, natural remedies for common and troublesome symptoms, as well as the appropriate (and inappropriate) use of interventions.
Peppered throughout are positive birth and pregnancy stories from women of all backgrounds (and all stages of their natural journey) along with advice and insights from a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) plus a Registered Nurse (RN), doula, and lactation consultant. This book is encouraging, well-researched and fun!

Filled with powerful and intimate scriptural prayers, this little book gives readers a way to come before Father God in faith with issues from having a difficult time getting pregnant to joyfully cradling that precious gift from God in their arms. This book is a big encouragement from before conception until after delivery!
