Written on July 28, 2008 Summary: World's Greatest Midwfe Ina May is to date the world's greatest midwife! It's so wonderful to hear all of her uplifting experiences with birth and her thoughts on the subject. She is at the forefront in natural birthing and has a wealth of essential advice and knowledge on the subject. A must read for any pregnant mother!!! Written on July 23, 2008 Summary: Positive Birth Stories I love this book so much!!! It is full of positive birth stories, which is something that is really not that common in the US. The women acknowledge the hurdles of labors, but have a constant positive understanding of what is happening to their bodies. I would recommend this book to any pregnant mama or papa. My husband also enjoyed some of the stories I shared with him.  Written on July 22, 2008 Summary: Encouraging book but not that practical The first half of this book is just short birthing stories--which becomes very tedious to read straight through. The stories are interesting but completely anecdotal. The second half of the book gives very generalized information on natural birth. Despite being a physician myself at a university based practice, I thoroughly believe in the power of natural childbirth. This book is encouraging but honestly not really adequate in terms of the practical information. I give it 5 stars in terms of illustrating and reassuring that natural childbirth can be accomplished safely...but again only 3 stars if you are looking for a true guide to giving birth naturally. Written on July 15, 2008 Summary: Powerful!! I have read countless books on pregnancy & childbirth but have never enjoyed one quite as much as this one. It was extremely informational, encouraging and empowering to any woman who has been previously convinced by society and the US medical system that her body is somehow broken and incapable of NORMAL birth. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Excellent!! Written on June 30, 2008 Summary: positive information don't read the crap that OB's and doctors are handing out telling women that if their labor doesn't fit nicely into their schedule and goes according to a generic time limit they'll have to have a c-section. giving birth is an empowering experience that can be ENJOYED and NOT FEARED. ina may helps inform you of the possibilities in childbirth so you can explore your options and also know what to expect. fast, easy reading. |
