Ofri Marton – Beautiful Book for Anxious Pregnant Mothers

By

Ofri Marton, mother and birth professional at Birthready, was anxious about childbirth before her first baby’s arrival.

She attended Katrina’s Birth Goddess workshop for expecting mums and got hold of “this beautiful book,” A Modern Woman’s Guide to A Natural Empowering Birth by Katrina Zaslavsky.(Afterword by Dr Sarah Buckley MD)

She felt she needed to read positive stories and find out what it’s like for a woman giving birth, feeling empowered and feeling assured.

Ofri found it really interesting to discover how they did it, that they felt strong, calm and excited about birth rather than the scary stories you normally hear when you ask your friends how their birth was. (not necessarily the headspace you want to be in before you give birth to your first child!)

She loved this book and reading all the positive birth experiences.

From terrified and anxious of childbirth to positive, excited & healed psyche

Hi Katrina,

I haven’t finished all of your book yet, but already it has made such a difference to me.

Ever since I was young I have had a deep-seated fear of childbirth. I don’t know where it came from, but I would commonly experience nightmares about going into labour and childbirth which I found terrifying, years before even considering having a child.

Becoming pregnant I obviously was anxious about childbirth but buying your book has completely changed my outlook. I actually had a dream last night of going through labour and childbirth and instead of it being a nightmare, it was such a positive dream and I was so excited. I think it was a message to me that my psyche has finally healed. I have you to thank for that!

Thanks a lot and keep doing what you are doing!

It’s really consistent with everything I teach as a psychologist and birth educator

Love it when I think I am talking to someone for the first time and they not only only know exactly who I am but are already a fan of my work!! …

“I was given a copy of your lovely book during my recent pregnancy actually. Well done – it’s a great book. I liked that it was easy to read and palatable for a wide audience.

You could pick it up and start reading anywhere for useful advice.

It’s really consistent with everything I teach as a psychologist and birth educator – I really like how you tapped into birth and risk of PND etc. It’s just not talked about enough… Thanks”
