The ultimate motherhood myths book for a modern generation of mothers, The Birth Myths Guide is the essential companion to The Pregnancy Myths Guide.

The book is divided into:
You deserve the greatest start to motherhood, and to find your peace before, during, and after birth. This book will make every parent feel less alone and more empowered – because one size does not fit all.
