About this deal

Ultimately the reality is that every mother's experience is different, and there's no technique, approach, or solution that works for everyone.

When I asked to not have an episiotomy, he skirted the issue entirely by asking me what kind of episiotomy I meant, never once saying whether he would or would not give me one.The international hospital that I will be giving birth at does routine Rhogam injections at 28 weeks.

i liked the second part more, and found the information thought-provoking in many instances, but overall it left me worried and doubting my choice to use a doctor/hospital/epidural, etc. Ina May, while informative and practical, describes giving birth as something delightful, hilarious, and super-power-esque to look forward to. I realized that I was truly blessed, that there really were some things on which technology could not improve--one of those was the billion-year-old evolutionary process of human childbirth.

One of the very few stipulations my wife made after we learned we were going to have a child is that I read this book by the doyenne of natural childbirth in the U.

It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. In 1997, she received the ASPO/Lamaze Irwin Chabon Award and the Tennessee Perinatal Association Recognition Award.

Overall, I'm glad I read this book and I truly believe that it has better equipped me for my son's upcoming birth.

There is extraordinary psychological benefit in belonging to a group of women who have positive stories to tell about their birth experiences.

There was a of useful advice and if the whole book would have been like that, it would have easily been a five star book! The book makes the assumption that a pregnant woman will feel more comfortable and cared for in the company of other women because her wishes will be respected. So take some of the comments with a grain of salt because Ina May is talking from her experience which is outside the hospital and from her experiences on the Farm.

After she thoroughly detailed problems within the medical field, she gave suggestions that included more federal regulation and national healthcare. The best way I know to counter the effects of frightening stories is to hear or read empowering ones. It also gives a good amount of info about the possibilities of what CAN happen, which is always important to be aware of. I will continue to read the birth stories, though I only needed a dozen of them or so before I wanted to hear what she actually had to say (this may partially be because I am a male reader who's brain learns slightly differrent that the target audience).
