My book was published in December 2010, with a second printing in 2014 and a third printing in 2018, and is a collection of real-life birth stories. Copies are available for purchase on the registration page.
Penny Stansfield’s engaging “Labors of Love: A Doula’s Birth Stories” will inspire and educate readers with its wide variety of birth accounts, all kinds of “everyday miracles.” You’ll feel as if you were there yourself. What a wonderful way to learn what birth is REALLY like! This is a must-read for expectant parents, doulas, and maternity care providers.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful book with us! It was my companion on my many legged journey from Tucson to Grand Rapids and home again, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading, celebrating, weeping, and being uplifted again and again by your eloquent stories of the power of birth.
