"I've seen a study that showed that a woman's birth is an event that will stand out in her mind above most everything else. Which means that psychologically a woman's births do affect her. But a birth does not have to perfect to have a positive attitude, which is part of what this book addresses: how to face disappointments from past births so that they do not hinder a current birth. I had very few disappointments from my one birth, but I gained insight from thinking about what was disappointing.
This book is for any pregnant woman. After reading a basic birth book, read this one! This book does not have any agenda other than to help women have a positive birth experience, regardless of whether or not interventions are use.
Oh, the author is Gayle Peterson, PhD. (Harriette Hartigan is the photographer.)"
