After all, who is having this baby? March 28, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book answers the question, "After all, who is having this baby?" And it's not doctors, nurses, or husbands. It's women. So many books on childbirth are written by the experts--all of whom know birth by watching it. In this book, the authors feature women's stories of birth. Drawing on over 130 birthing stories, the authors show how a good birth is one in which the women feels she has been heard and is being honored. According to the interviews, not too many births actually meet these two standards, especially if the birth takes place in a hospital. With good humor, good thinking and good writing, the five authors present readers with a short, sharp book that encourages them to consider women first when making decisions about birthing. It offers evidence and strategies to support decisions that honor women who are having babies.
