Sarah Buckley might be called a third-wave natural birth advocate. A doctor and a mother, she approaches the question of how a woman and baby might have the most fulfilling birth experience with respect for the wisdom of both medical science and the human body. Using current medical and epidemiological research plus women's experiences (including her own), she demonstrates that what she calls "undisturbed birth" is almost always healthier and safer than high-technology approaches to birth. Her wise counsel on issues like breastfeeding and sleeping during postpartum helps extend the gentle birth experience into a gentle parenting relationship. Review: I love this book - I really love this book. It is written for people who are already spiritually minded and wish to move outside of the mainstream medical conglomerate. I feel like a lot of the reviews saying the author is condescending are from people who are still programmed through this medical establishment and the book triggers a lot of defensiveness within them over their choices. The book is written from the heart and doesn’t beat around the bush or sugar coat things. Lots of valuable information and truly inpowers you to take back your body autonomy and sovereignty in regards to your birth journey. At the same time, the author does not shame the choices the mother makes, only offers varying information rather than fear mongering a woman into a certain pattern or birth story. This book is not going to praise ultrasounds or unnecessary technological interventions so if that is the route you are set on taking just bypass this book and find one that is more closely aligning to your wants and needs. Review: Read it. Trust me - I will always and forever recommend this book. I’m a doula and this has been su ch a great resource to pull out. Even in my own life this has helped me feel empowered to make the decisions I want as a mother. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #70,624 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #148 in Pregnancy & Childbirth (Books) #186 in Baby & Toddler Parenting #250 in Motherhood (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 538 Reviews | ## Images ![Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-ptJ8uPDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this book *by J***G on January 31, 2023* I really love this book.

Trust me *by S***S on April 4, 2025* I will always and forever recommend this book. I’m a doula and this has been su ch a great resource to pull out. Even in my own life this has helped me feel empowered to make the decisions I want as a mother. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read. *by M***X on July 9, 2024* This is a good book to read before your first child (or any child,) especially if you are concerned about the current hospital situation in the United States. It sheds light on many procedures that are done simply because they are standard practice, not necessarily because they are important. If you're trying to decide what's best for you & your baby, this is a great book to read. As with all books, read with an open mind—take what works for you and leave the rest. I appreciated the insights from a medical doctor & mother, on ultrasounds, home birth, medical procedures, and more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1304978-gentle-birth-gentle-mothering-a-doctors-guide-to-natural-childbirth](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1304978-gentle-birth-gentle-mothering-a-doctors-guide-to-natural-childbirth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
