The Birth Myths Guide

The Birth Myths Guide, Volume 1, provides a psychology-based approach to navigating the complexities of childbirth and early parenting. Written by clinical and perinatal psychologist Emma Black, this medical book addresses the unrealistic expectations and unhelpful myths that often surround the birthing process. It serves as a research-informed resource for women preparing for birth or reflecting on past experiences, focusing on the mental health aspects of motherhood.

This pregnancy and childbirth guide is divided into two distinct sections. The first part debunks eleven common birth myths to provide factual information and reduce unnecessary pressure. The second part introduces practical psychological skills to help manage anxiety and emotional expectations. By focusing on clinical psychology and women's health, The Birth Myths Guide, Volume 1, helps readers find peace and flexibility during this significant life transition.
