HER BODY, HER BABY
REAL STORIES OF AUTONOMY IN CHILDBIRTH
"I will not push without an epidural."
Her body was ready. Her baby was near. But Kieara's voice-calm, clear, and unshakable-cut through the urgency. She heard the facts. And still she chose.
This is the heartbeat of Her Body, Her Baby: real women, real choices, real power.
In childbirth, where two lives are at stake, decisions often collide with protocol. But what if the key to safer, more empowering births isn't control-but trust?
In this bold, story-driven book, OB/GYN Dr. Michael J. Hervey brings you into delivery rooms where women like Kieara take ownership of their births-and where providers learn to listen, not lead. These real stories show that honoring autonomy doesn't weaken care-it transforms it.
Whether you're a patient, a partner, or a provider, Her Body, Her Baby invites you into a new model of care-one grounded in respect, compassion, and shared power.
Not just a book. A call to listen. A call to trust. A call to change.
