Book Reviews of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Book Review: READ this BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
All women pregnant, thinking about or trying to get pregnant must read this book. This book educates us on all the procedures and situations that arise during pregnancy and childbirth. It gives you the pros and cons - leaving you to decide what is right for you and your baby. Book Review: Good but One-Sided
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent book, well written, informative, obviously researched, and full of details, down to the names of the medicines used in birth. The problem is that the author is staunchly pro-natural birth, and this can make her writing seem very one sided. I used this book for a thesis, and her views were very interesting. But read this book with open eyes: it's an excellent book, but written with very strong opinions in mind. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just something to consider.Book Review: Too technical for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't need such a technical guide..I was expecting it to be written freindlier.Book Review: Great book and a lots of good information. To the point
Summary: 5 Stars
But remember, it's one sided. Take everything with a grain of salt. She's very passionate about natural birth.
Definitely a must read though
Book Review: Solid Book if you are looking for info on natural birth
Summary: 4 Stars
Is this book slanted? Yes! All books are toward the authors's opinion. Henci Goer is obviously a natural childbirth advocate!!! If nothing else, this book aids parents in understanding what topics are controversial in the natural birth/labor process and has helped my husband and I know what questions to ask and what topics should be covered to be prepared for a natural birth in a hospital. I do not think it should be your only resource, but it is recommended if you are looking into natural childbirth.
