Critics Review
-
Birth Power is an empowering, thoughtful and refreshingly honest guide to pregnancy and birth. Megan Rossiter brings together science, experience and deep respect for women’s instincts to help parents understand not only how birth works, but how to navigate the maternity system with clarity and confidence. In a world where birth can feel overwhelming, medicalized and full of conflicting advice, this book offers something incredibly valuable: knowledge that restores a sense of agency, trust and calm.
Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Mind Over Mother

This book is a gift to any soon-to-be parents and those who are already parents. Birth Power is power handed back to its rightful owners: those who do it and those who support them. This book will help all who read it to be informed, autonomous and have agency as they navigate the world of birth preparation. Necessary reading.
