If you’re pregnant or planning
to be, read this book! Dr. Kerr’s wise embrace of nature and technology

Dr. Stacey Kerr's wonderful book
of birth stories shows how the midwifery model of care can be provided within a

Congratulations to Dr. Kerr for writing this very timely and much needed book on natural childbirth in a hospital setting.
