Being Born: The Doula's Role
by Jewel Hernandez
Illustrated by R. Michael Mithuna
This children’s picture book with simple text and soft watercolors explains in friendly terms to kids and parents about the role of a doula – a healthcare professional who offers physical and emotional support to a pregnant woman and her family. Research confirms that the support of a doula throughout pregnancy optimizes a woman’s chances of having a healthier birth experience as well as a healthier newborn. This book celebrates birth – as a natural and whole-family experience. Both its text and images present the subject clearly, but in child-appropriate language. Its gentle advocacy of a doula’s role make Being Born an invaluable resource for childbirth educators to use with first pregnancies, teenage mothers, and with families for whom English is a second language. When read to younger siblings, this book will be a source of comfort to those who wonder about all the people involved when mom is “having a baby.”
No other child-oriented picture-book covers the subject of doulas.

I bet you won't guess which muscle in your body is the muscle that gets rid of joint and back pains, anxiety and excessive fat.
If this "hidden" highly powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
