Professional Review:
Here is a holistic approach to childbirth that examines this profound rite-of-passage, not as a medical event, but as an act of self-discovery. Exercises and activities such as journal writing, meditation, and painting will help mothers analyze their thoughts and face their fears during pregnancy. For use during birth, the book offers proven techniques for coping with labor pain without drugs, a discussion of the doctor or midwife’s role, and a look at the father’s responsibilities. Childbirth education should also include what do expect after the baby is born. Here are baby basics, such as how to bathe a newborn, how to get the little one to sleep, and tips for getting nursing off to a good start. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is a process of continuous learning and adjustment; Birthing From Within provides the necessary support and education to make each phase of birthing a rewarding experience.

   Summary: great book
If your are a midwife, doula, childbirth educator, or even an OBGYN READ this book.

Parents to be can also benifit from reading this book. It really makes you think about focusing and dealing with your fears and your hopes.

   Summary: After reading, my photography improved
I never considered myself an artist, but I noticed how much my pregnancy and birth photography improved after I read this book. This book helped the creativity in me to blossom. In turn, the creativity lead me to having much more fun with expressing my next pregnancy through artistic photogrpahy. No more boring belly shots.

   Summary: Just what I needed...
With my first pregnancy I bought the "What to Expect" book, but by my second pregnancy I knew what I could expect. Having a baby is more than braxton hicks, bleeding gums, swollen ankles, etc. I needed something different, something to prepare and bolster me emotionally for laboring again. I was relieved to find something different from the usual.

   Summary: Informative even for moms not planning natural childbirth
I read this book on the advice of my midwife when considering natural childbirth. Although I don't think that's the route I'm going to take, I definitely found this book informative and interesting. The author focuses on the experience of giving birth and the emotions that both parents experience during pregnancy and after, which is a vastly different perspective than most of the pregnancy books (which focus on "if ___ happens, tell your health care provider immediately/next visit"). I confess, I found parts of the book a little new-agey (for lack of a better word) for my tastes (such as the reference to a placenta-tree). However, it really contains a lot of information about the risks of using drugs or other medical interventions, which as important as it is for parents to know those risks while making these decisions, the more "medically-minded" books tend to gloss over them. Another reason I appreciate the book is that it does not gloss over the challenge of natural childbirth.
