Yet when it comes to the deeper truths about the incredible process of bringing a child into this world―like spiritual and emotional growth―where can you turn? With Transformed by Birth, Dr. Britta Bushnell has created the transformative, intelligent, and empowering pregnancy and childbirth guide you’ve been waiting for. Our culture has bombarded us with false ideals that prevent us from fully engaging in the journey of pregnancy and childbirth―including a need for control and certainty, vilification of pain, and reverence for technology and intellectual knowledge. Dr. Bushnell helps you clear away these illusions so you can open to the meaning and comfort of this life-changing experience. Here she offers daily practices, rituals, drawing exercises, and more to help you cultivate resilience, power, and connection during this magical time. Childbirth is more than a biological event, psychological event, relational event, or medical experience. With Transformed by Birth, you’ll rediscover childbirth as a transformational experience that alters your knowing of who you are. Review: I absolutely love this book! - My first pregnancy was 5 years ago and my baby was breech, which necessitated a belly birth. I was absolutely fine with this and some how assumed that baby number two would also be breech. He wasn’t. I got nervous. Can I do this? A friend of mine recommended this book and I got both the audio book and the paperback (for myself and my husband). I absolutely love this book. I went into this birth feeling brave while also not attached to any outcome. I managed to birth my 9.7 lbs baby and felt empowered and in charge. Review: Really thoughtful - Such a great book. Love the philosophical and practical parts but this is not a technical birth book. It's more reflective. Love the anthropological perspective entwined throughout. ## Features - Item Trademark: SOUNDS TRUE - manufacturer: Sounds True Inc - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 0.8, 0.8 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #171,976 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #396 in Motherhood #792 in Women's Health #1,890 in Parenting | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 191 Reviews | ## Images ![Transformed by Birth: Cultivating Openness, Resilience, and Strength for - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KXn-9RFdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love this book! *by V***R on 13 October 2021* My first pregnancy was 5 years ago and my baby was breech, which necessitated a belly birth. I was absolutely fine with this and some how assumed that baby number two would also be breech. He wasn’t. I got nervous. Can I do this? A friend of mine recommended this book and I got both the audio book and the paperback (for myself and my husband). I absolutely love this book.

Love the philosophical and practical parts but this is not a technical birth book. It's more reflective. Love the anthropological perspective entwined throughout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My top recommendation *by A***S on 11 January 2024* I have worked with expectant families teaching classes for over 20 years. This book is my #1 recommendation for expectant and newly postpartum families. Britta masterfully uses story telling and myth, woven together with insights into our cultural context, as well as facts and statistics about birth and common procedures, to help people face the whole picture of what the transition into parenthood involves. My favorite parts of the book are: *in the opening chapters she presents 8 themes that are present in our culture and deeply impact our thoughts, feelings and behaviors around birth - many times without our even realizing it. Pointing these out and inviting the reader to look for them in their own experience, is in my opinion one of the most impactful parts of the book, and in fact, though I am well past the years of new parenthood myself, I still am often oriented by recognizing when one of these themes is at play in my life or decision making. *The other part of this book that I deeply appreciate is the depth, practicality & compassion with which she addresses the postpartum experience. It is common for new parents to focus so much on the birth itself that they feel lost and overwhelmed in the early days of parenting when their relationships with their own selves and each other has really shifted. Britta offers insight for reconnecting, with yourself as a new parent and with your partner, that are insightful, practical, and most importantly...doable. This book is not an overwhelming list of "must do's to have the guaranteed perfect birth", it is a visit with a wise mentor who gently offers practical care & insight for those moving through a major life transition. --- ## 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.kg/products/285130527-transformed-by-birth-cultivating-openness-resilience-and-strength](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/285130527-transformed-by-birth-cultivating-openness-resilience-and-strength) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
