Birth Stories is a collection of beautifully written, candid stories by Australian women about the triumphs, challenges and delights they experienced through childbirth. The nineteen stories are from a wide range of mothers-to-be, first time mums, women having their second or third child, women seeking to have a natural birth after a previous caesarean delivery, and women having babies after suffering traumatic first births or sexual abuse.
