Best in Show!!
2010-03-04
By Mahalie M. Pech (Seattle, WA USA)
I read way too many pregnancy books before I got to this one. It literally changed the way I view childbirth and I am so thankful to these crazy hippies! I always pass it on to the newly pregnant...the positive birth stories alone give the first time mom an idea of what birth might be like and a sense of assurance that your body was made to do this.
The pragmatic analyst in me appreciated the citation of studies and the birthing center's statistics.
An Excellent Book

This is by far the most borrowed book in my midwifery practice. Women love this book. The birth stories at the beginning are positive and realistic. The overall theme that a woman's body is capable, powerful, and perfectly made for giving birth rings true throughout.
My favorite!

By Veronica Sawyer (Los Angeles, CA)
I only wish I had started reading this book earlier. I was trying to hurry up and get to the end, and my son came a few days early and I didn't get to finish, I was so bummed!
I loved this book, it was very informative, but I also loved reading the other women's birth stories. It was great, and I even remembered to remember something I read in the book during my very fast, very intense labor- the throat sphincter. I'm SO glad I read about this- I remembered to relax my throat and not tense up and try to blast the baby out as fast and hard as you can. I think we grow up seeing people in movies and on TV doing this, and having people screaming "PUSH!" at them, and this is NOT what the birth experience needs to be.
Ina May is a gift to women and the world of pregnancy and childbirth. I'm so glad she is sharing her knowledge and experience with the rest of us. I totally get why people would move to The Farm just to have her as their midwife! We were lucky enough to have AMAZING midwives in Los Angeles, and had a wonderful home birth, free of interventions and full of love and intimacy.
This book was a part of our wonderful pregnancy and amazingly beautiful and empowering birth experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is expecting, no matter what kind of "birth plan" you have. I'd just recommend you start reading it much earlier than I did so you have time to finish it!
