Book Reviews of Gentle Birth Choices
Book Review: A good choice
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is definitely biased toward natural, vaginal birthing. If that is fine for you than this is a great choice. I found it very informative. The author gave a history of childbirth and how it got to be so medicalized. Medical myths were also addressed. The succint pro's and con's of typical hospital interventions I found especially helpful. The differences between midwifes and other providers came in handy for me because I was contemplating ditching my OB for a midwife. Finally, they had in depth info on waterbirths, creating birth plans, choosing a provider and birthplace. Definitely worth reading. I did watch the video also. Besides it being a bit dated, it did show the gentle births that this book is all about. I think the video would have been more helpful if it showed more 1st stage labor. I was hoping to see more of how the women coped with labor pains then to just see second stage.
