Book Reviews of Born in the USA: How a Broken Maternity System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First

Book Review: A MUST READ!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was an eye opener for me. It is well organized, researched and annotated by Dr. Wagner, who has incredible credentials. Anyone who is pregnant should read this book before choosing a obstetrician, midwife, doula, etc. The facts are staggering and overwhelming that we live in the US and our maternity care is so unbelieveably sub standard.
