David Vernon, the editor of Birth Stories writes: 'I am concerned that if women only hear the 'bad' experiences, they will never gain the knowledge of how confidence- building a great birth can be. this is why I have collected these birth stories together - to let women and men read about women who have had a great birth and to encourage them to have a positive view of childbirth, rather than a fearful and anxious view.' Professor tracy writes: ' I want to share with you some of the findings of a recent study. Women, in Australia, who have had their babies in birth centres, reduce their chances by 99% of having a caesarean section and by 95% of having an instrumental birth. this shows what can happen when women have one-to-one midwifery care in an environment that promotes and encourages a birth to be normal and powerful.' Professor tracy continues: 'the stories you are about to read will confirm this for you. After all every woman and child has the right to a good strong start in life beginning with their entry into the world in a loving and gentle way.'
