I think every woman of childbearing age should read this book! Whether you already have babies, are currently pregnant, or have never been pregnant. The author basically lays out most options of birthing, in an un-biased (kind of) way! (I only say kind of because she prefers epidurals, but doesn't discriminate against those who dont. :) ) Which is exactly what I love about the book. She encourages readers to not be so judgemental about women who make different choices than we might. Everything from homebirths with no medical interventions, to scheduled C-sections around vacations or busy schedules. She's funny, and gives tons of references to studies and other books-in an effort to provide an explation of misconceptions free of judgement...anyway- I could go on and on! Next time you are in the library see if this is on the shelf! It's a good read! (and NO for those of you wondering, this is not an announcement of any kind.)

It sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out. Last week in my parent-baby group we all shared our birth stories, and everyone's is so different! Different choices, opinions, preferences. It's really interesting. I like the idea of doing what you're most comfortable with and just sticking with it. Everyone should accept everyone else's choices, because it's really personal.
Interesting I will have to read it, I've always wanted to go natural
