Book Reviews of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth

Book Review: Have a better birth experience!
Summary: 5 Stars

There are no guarantees, but arming yourself with information can make a dramatic difference to your birth experience. This book will provide a lot of that information. Henci Goer knows her stuff and has helped many women realize the power of their own bodies and the natural process that is birth.

Birth has become over-medicalised, but it doesn't need to be. Childbirth can be a gentle and life-affirming experience for mother and baby. This book will help you find out how, and will give you the tools and information you need to have a better birth.
