Some pregnancy/birth/baby books feel loaded with pressure. Others are like a breath of fresh air. This one is the latter kind! Informative yet chill.

I enjoyed this book and loved the authors journey from being so closed minded and "sticking to the book" of birthing to enjoying natural birth and all the mental/spiritual ways you can bring a baby into this world. I've always known a natural nontraditional birthing experience would be what I wanted but the fear of birthing was always there, especially as a marginalized person. 'Made for This' reminded me to release that fear. It reminded me just how prepared my body instinctively is to bring life into this world. There are amazing mantras, prayers & other helpful guides to give you a peaceful mindset to have the most satisfying birth you can

I liked that, rather than pushing for “natural” birth, the author instead advocated for doing what lands right with you ♥️ I also love that she is a former LnD nurse
