Birth

Birth and the first days with a newborn are unique — sometimes beautiful, sometimes hard, always powerful. Here I want to gradually share what made sense to me in preparation and in those early moments at home.

First articles coming soon.

Books on a respectful, gentler view of birth that make sense to me:

• Michel Odent — Znovuzrozený porod (Birth Reborn). A classic on human, calm birth.
• Marie F. Mongan — Hypnoporod (HypnoBirthing). Relaxation, breath and trust in the body.
• Jana Doležalová & Ivana Königsmarková — Hovory s porodní bábou. A conversation with a Czech midwife.
