ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Cita Lundin has been passionate about giving families the tools, trust and confidence to dare to give birth ever since she became a midwife in 1992. She saw early on the power of how parents absorbed knowledge and thus gained the desire and opportunity to preserve the naturalness of giving birth to their child, instead of being delivered. Cita has strengthened thousands of Magplasket mothers and many hundreds of Profylax couples and helped them prepare for one of the biggest occasions in life - when their child is born. She now educates and inspires midwives all over Sweden in childbirth preparation and physiological births. Cita was one of the midwives who worked at Sahlgrenska Hospital's ABC unit in Gothenburg during the 90s. One of the few midwife-led units in the country where couples gave birth on their own terms. She is now active as a midwife both in hospitals and in the homes of the birthing families. Together with her husband, she has carried and given birth to four children.

VOICES FROM SOME WHO HAVE USED THE BOOK:
Emelie:
"Thanks to the prophylaxis course, I was able to focus on landing in the labor pauses and resting and focusing on the present during the pauses. It was my salvation and something I had as a mantra in my head."
Daniel:
"What I took with me were the words "once a labor is over, it never comes again" and they were good words to encourage Emelie with. And I gained a greater understanding of the entire birth process."
Ronja:
"What I really learned from the course was to listen to myself and trust my body. Since the birth took three hours from start to finish, I am incredibly happy that I did just that. Despite the incredibly intense pain, I felt calm and confident that the pain was not dangerous. Giving birth is still the absolute coolest thing I have ever done in my life, but I am convinced that without the prophylaxis my experiences would not have been so positive, because it has been so helpful to me."
Timmy:
"I had a different calm and security after we had taken the prophylaxis course before this birth. A calmness of knowing that I had tools to have at my disposal if needed. I saw that Ronja listened to herself and her body, while I listened to her and provided support based on what she needed."
