Book Reviews of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Book Review: Even if you're not interested in homebirth (or can't have one)
Summary: 5 Stars
This book does a great job of looking at obstetric myths and realities and warning mothers about the various medical advice and interventions they will face; especially if you will be birthing in a hospital, read this to know what to expect, and what/how to refuse!Book Review: An Absolute Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic. Rather than spout her birth philosophy, Goer analyses the studies out there, condenses them into layman's terms, and lets you choose what works for you and your birth. Don't think that you are going to learn everything you need to know in a hospital birth class. If you are ready to dive into the wealth of information out there, this is the book for you.Book Review: Great Book For All Women!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most needed books about women's health care during pregnancy, labor and birth. I highly recommend this book and or buy it as gifts for pregnant friends.
Book Review: I love this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am about to give birth to my second (both homebirths), and I found this book very empowering. I recommend it to all of my pregnant friends.Book Review: NON Thinking Woman's Guide
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this book as a gift. Was extremely put off by the author's biased opinion. She goes as far to say that female doctors in obstetrics just follow the male herd's opinion and have no mind of their own. If you have a mind of your own, get a different book - one that will lay out both sides of the argument in a non-biased manner. Also, be mindful of the fact that the information concerning obstetrics in the book is at least 15 years out of date.
