You've Got This is a simple, powerful childbirth toolkit, perfect for the birth partner, doula, and mama herself. With more than 15 years as a doula and childbirth educator, Sara Lyon has distilled her wisdom into the 50 most effective techniques for comforting a woman in labor. This book throws away the precedents of both hyper jargonized manuals and antique superstitions, instead providing a holistic guide that is readable, customizable, and grounded in education. You've Got This teaches: Support: Set the tone for labor. Move: Explore useful props and positions. Massage: Experience pain reduction with touch and massage. Mind: Impact your birth experience with the power of perception. But don't tuck this book into your hospital bag just yet! Practice the techniques ahead of time, using the exercises to prepare for the birthing process long before labor even begins. Learn to combine techniques to address multiple senses at the same time, and then personalize the book by picking your favorites. You've Got This offers detailed instructions, illustrations, birth stories, and practical advice to ensure readers' most comfortable labor experiences possible.
