Description
Birth is an essential part of who God created women to be, body and soul. In "Made for This", Mary Haseltine draws on Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body to show that pregnancy and childbirth are not just physical experiences, but also spiritual ones. This book offers real-life stories from many mothers, practical tips on preparing for birth, making informed choices, and helping fathers embrace their role in the birth room. Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience. Mary Haseltine is a theology graduate and certified birth doula and childbirth educator who works to bring an awareness of the Church's teachings on the Theology of the Body into the realm of childbirth and mothering.
