Research has shown that one-to-one midwifery care is currently considered the best model to assist women in the event of physiological pregnancies and childbirth, while giving birth at home or in a birth center are safe and legitimate solutions in low-risk pregnancies. Despite this, stereotypes and biases related to midwifery care and the choice to give birth in alternative spaces, outside a hospital, are still widespread. Most women prefer to be assisted by an OB-GYN, and hospital birth is usually the norm. People who consider different options are often looked at with suspicion and criticized by society. Two contemporary memoirs bring a change of paradigm by celebrating the role and importance of alternative birth spaces and midwifery care in Indonesia and Switzerland, by addressing how informed decisions, empathic communication, and personalized care contribute to obtaining empowering birth experiences. In my chapter, I highlight how natural and non-medicalized out-of-hospital births are represented in positive and feminist terms in two texts based on personal experiences: Memoirs of a Singing Birth by Croatian author Elena Skoko (lulu.com, 2011), –translated and published in Italian two years later (Phasar Edizioni: Firenze, 2013)– and Quello che ci unisce. Dalla levatrice Lucia al nostro e vostro parto [What Unites Us. From Midwife Lucia to Our and Your Birth] written by Swiss-Italian Angela Notari (Salvioni: Bellinzona, 2019).
