"Great book on understanding birth and choices a birthing mother does/should have. The authors do not hide that they are proponants of natural and unmedicated births, but acknowledge and provide information for those who cannot have a natural birth or choose not to- without a hippy dippy vibe that so many natural childbirth books have. The fast that she has given birth so many times and in so many ways also provides good perspective. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and be prepared to take an active part in the birthing process."
"Definitely the most comprehensive book on birthing out there. It gives a fair shake of both medicated and non-medicated birth, and gives the scientific facts about each one (it politely points out the many risks of medicated labor, which most other books either exacerbate or completely ignore, depending on which way they "swing"). I would recommend this book first to any pregnant person."
"This was my baby birthing bible. I read and reread every page. I really thought it helped me to have a more spiritual experience with the births of my last 4 children. Don't be put off by the anti pain medication stuff - if you need it use it, but there are tips in there that make natural birth much more comfortable."
"I would definitely recommend reading this while pregnant or even before. This book doesn't try to be unbiased -- rather, it takes a stand on things but still allows for people choosing something else, something that a lot of books fail at. This book provides invaluable information for anyone who wants to take an active part in their care and make decisions based on what they want and is best for them instead of the convenience and routines of the hospital or doctor. Even if you don't think you'll agree with what they say, read it and then make an informed decision for yourself."
