The Humor in Birth

Stories and Insight from a Doula

By: Micah L. Burgess

Narrated by: Debra Davenport

Micah Burgess has attended over 200 home or hospital births as a doula. She also has had six of her own birth experiences - five homebirths using natural birth methods and one emergency C-section just 27 weeks into her sixth pregnancy. During many of those birth experiences, Micah encountered some hilarious situations and people. With her Texan charm and wit, Micah lets new and experienced moms everywhere see that the craziness that sometimes accompanies childbirth is neither odd nor unique - and is often quite funny. In her breakthrough first book, Micah shares several of the insights and humorous stories collected from the journey with her clients.

Easy listening

Micah is the narrator of her own book and has a soft Texas twang to her voice that I love, it reminds me of my loved ones. This book made me chuckle multiple times, and gave me motivation and inspiration for my own Doula career.

Hilarious & informative

I wish this book was around before my son was born, there was actually a lot of good information wrapped up in some hilarious real-life stories. She talks about the good, the bad, and the funny parts of childbirth that no one tells you about. You will laugh as you learn in graphic detail how birth rarely goes as planned.

The absolute perfect narrator - she dosn't read it, she performs it!  I just loved this book!
