5A Must Read for Natural Childbirth  Jul 30, 2008
This book was the first book I read on natural childbirth. It altered the way I looked at giving birth and ultimately being a woman. I was not pregnant or even thinking about being pregnant at the time I read this book, but it did open my eyes. Parts of it may seem dated to some, but actually giving birth in the U.S. has regressed. What was once a natural and beautiful experience, has now become akin to having a disease and that is just a shame. A must read for anyone who is thinking about natural childbirth.

5This book is incredible!  Jun 02, 2008
Thank goodness for this book...I have read it since the day I got it and it keeps me on track for rethinking my ideas of the birthing process....I want a calm and natural birth and for the hundreds of women who shared their stories of childbirth, this gives me hope that you can indeed survive childbirth with your attitude intact. It also gave me even more belief that my midwife is a better option for me and that I can count on her for the support I will need to deliver my baby without medical intervention unless it is necessary.

Easy reading. It is a history of midwifery from the 60's about women wanting a birth different from the standard hospital birth. A must for those interested in midwifery, or birth with other options.

5Ina May is inspirational  May 25, 2008
This book reminds me why I became a midwife to begin with. To be with women through this journey of pregnancy, childbitrh and parenthood is a priviledge to often overlooked and I love this book for that reminder!
