Ancient Map for Modern Birth: Preparation, Passage, and Personal Growth for the Childbearing Year Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

Pregnancy puts you on the threshold of a great rite of passage. To progress from "here" to "there" without getting lost, you will need a map. Like every modern woman, you already have access to the standard health consumer's map showing you how to navigate routine obstetric care. However, negotiating the primordial hurdels and unforeseen challenges marking the inner terrain of childbearing requires the use of something different--an ancient universal map.
Gathering information is not enough. Wishful thinking is not a plan. Ancient Map for Modern Birth, informative and uplifting, will show you how to:
Experience your childbearing year as a heroic journey;
Prioritize peace of mind and physical health for you and your baby;
Create personal rituals and ceremonies for spiritual well-being;
Engage in an informed consent dialogue with birth attendants;
Embrace uncertainty, the unknown, and loss of control.

Whether or not this is your first pregnancy, whether you are birthing at a hospital or at home, Ancient Map for Modern Birth will guide you to an awareness that leads to the birth of both a child and a new self. It will also benefit everyone committed to supporting you from conception through your childbearing year.

Pam England

Through her observations and experiences as a nurse-midwife and mother (who birthed once by cesarean, once at home), Pam realized the need for a radically new model of childbirth preparation and a birth story process. She is the author of Birthing From Within, Labyrinth of Birth, and her newest book, Ancient Map for Modern Birth—released February 6, 2017. Pam England founded the organization Birthing From Within (2000) to offer childbirth mentor and doula training and certification; she also founded Birth Story Listening, a distance-learning course. Pam lives in Albuquerque. Over the past 19 years, she has connected with countless parents and birth professionals around the US and world.

Slightly skeptical, pleasantly surprised

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018

At first I didn't really know if this book would be useful or just full of hocus pocus. It was magically both. I found it enriching, enlightening, and energizing. Worth the read!

A beautiful, well-rounded book that recognizes that while gathering data and knowing evidence & facts is part of birth preparation for the modern birthing family, there is a deeper journey being made. A must-have for anyone who wants to explore and understand birth beyond the usual cultural messages.

A book that speaks to that part of that is yearning for more

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018

An absolutely beautiful book that is a must have for all parents preparing to Birth!:). It fills in the gaps you may be aware of in our culture that often forgets to hold Birth as a rite of passage.

The well-rounded physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual balance in this book is what has been missing from our birth culture.
