This is the ONLY book a pregnant woman needs. I used it 4 years ago when pregnant with my son and now with this pregnancy. Everything is covered! It's precise, easy to read, and doesn't treat me like i'm an idiot. If your pregnant or know someone who is - get this book!Book Review: A 16-year-old reader
Summary: 3 Stars
If you only buy one childbirth guide, this should be the one. It's the most complete--it tells and shows (with over 100 photos, illustrations, and charts) how to prepare yourself for a healthy, positive birth experience. It covers nutrition, exercise, labor comfort measures, anesthesia choices, birth, breastfeeding, and new baby care. Created by the Childbirth Education Association of Seattle, childbirth experts call it thier "bible."Book Review: A great book for an expectant mother
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for a great friend of mine who is expecting soon and she had nothing but good things to say about this book. Hopefully it will help her with the transition from career woman to mother. A great book for any new motherBook Review: The book to educate and empower.
Summary: 5 Stars
We all dream of the perfect birth. For me it included no epidural, quick birth, and no tearing. This, however, was not the case. Eventhough things didn't go as planned I was prepared for everything that happened and the experience, none the less, was wonderful. This book, which was recommended by my doula, gave me many insights into what was going on with my body and baby during my pregnancy, delivery and post partom. My mother in-law told me I knew too much going in to my delivery (referring to the knowledge I gained from all my reading). But I firmly believe there is empowerment through education. I think it is much better knowing than to go in not knowing like they did years ago. We are of a generation of educated and empowered women. This book will assist you in taking control of your birth and pregnancy. I recommend reading as much as possible, it's good to get different perspectives but if you were to read only one book this would be the one!
