Choosing Birth at Home or in a Birth

Highly informative yet sensitively written and supported by first-hand
accounts of women's personal experience of birth, this is the

champion of freedom of choice in childbirth, Sheila Kitzinger
is uniquely placed to advise and support women who want to make
the right decision confidently for themselves.
"To carry a child in your body, to make choices between alternatives,
to give birth … is not a medical event. It is a major life transition." Sheila Kitzinger

Runa's Birth
The day my sister was born
By
Uwe Spillman & Inga Kamieth
Mummy is having a baby. This is a very special day for four-year-old
Lisa. Her mother doesn't go to the hospital to have her baby,
but rather stays at home. Lisa enjoys a beautiful spring day together
with Mummy, Daddy, Karen the midwife, her godmother Laurie, and
her friend Fabio. She is even there when the baby finally comes
out. The birth is portrayed with warm pictures and brief text.
This book conveys the midwife's work, as well as the excitement,
joy, and happiness of all participants on this great birth-day.
Runa's Birth is the story of a homebirth from a 4 year old's point
of view. The family is middle class, the birth is normal, the
four year old is playing. The midwife comes to the house and the
mother sits in the bathtub. The baby is born as the four year
old watches. She then has a "toast" to the birthday with her parents.
The most beautiful aspect of this book is not only the normalness
of a Birth, but the specialness of a Birthday. The four year old
continues with all her activities and then adds the Birth to her
day. It is a perfect book for children attending a homebirth of
a sibling. It is also ideal for parents who are wondering what
their children will do while they are in labor.

Welcome with Love
By
Jenni Overend
Illustrations
by
Julie Vivas
Jack and his family have waited a long time for this day…the birth
of a new baby.
We join Jack as everyone - his sisters, dad, Aunt and the midwife
- is getting ready for the birth. There is action aplenty, chopping
wood to keep the fire going, putting out the baby's clothes, making
a giant bed by the fire for Mum and the new baby.
This powerful, moody and beautiful story of a family all being
together for a home birth is written with warmth and honesty by
Jenni Overend, whose own children were present at the birth of
her youngest son. Multi-award winning illustrator Julie Vivas
captures this special moment with her characteristic harmonious,
sensitive, gentle illustrations.
Jenni Overend is a teacher and writer based in country Victoria.
Her home provides the setting for the illustrations.
This is a controversial title, but a warm and engaging story about
the wonder of birth.
