Book Reviews of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Book Review: A must read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Henci Goer has provided the information needed in very readable terms for all women to have a better birth. Backed with extensive research, Goer clears up common misconceptions and obstetrical myths that are running rampant in childbirth in this country. As a childbirth educator, advocate and Labor Support Doula I would recommend this book to all pregnant women. Early in pregnancy most people want to read about pregnancy, thinking they've got months to go to read up on birth issues. This book really should be read early. If you read nothing else, read this!

Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN AND HIGHLY INFORMATIVE BOOK. WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE THIS AUTHOR AS THE DOULA FOR OUR UPCOMING BIRTH AND WE FEEL THAT THE KNOWLEDGE SHE SHARES IN THIS BOOK IS SO EDUCATIONAL. I READ THE BOOK COVER TO COVER.Book Review: Honest Information Offered Directly From Medical Literature
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Goer has methodically reviewed the medical research in obstetrics and presented it in language that anyone can understand. She clearly explains why some of the most commonly practiced interventions in childbirth are not based in research.Henci Goer has also written a great book for birth professionals, and the best part of both books is that, including her own opinions, she puts her research skills where her mouth is. You don't have to be a medical researcher to get through this book because she has put the information into convenient summaries. You can hear a bit of frustration in her tone while reading the book, but that is because so many OB practitioners keep practicing in ways that are clearly opposite to what the medical researchers have shown is beneficial to pregnant and laboring women!
Book Review: truely the "thinking" woman's guide--the best !
Summary: 5 Stars
Henci's easy reading style enhances the facts that she presents to the "thinking" woman who is thankfully searching for the safe satisfying birth she knows she wants. The set up of the information is logical and easy to follow. I am just disappointed that Ms. Goer has not written a thinking woman--guide to pregnancy. I see so many woman reading the standard "What to expect... and come in with ridiculous questions--too many holes and too general a guide. The field of obstetrics needs to be based on proven evidence and Ms. Goer gives the birthing mom her guide to these facts--empowering her with every word. I cannot thank her enough for helping us with our quest for normal birth!
