This my favorite book on childbirth. It slants towards a natural childbirth, yet this book provides a balance of information on each possible medical intervention and the merits, pros, and cons of both the “natural” way and each intervention – from C-section to epidurals to episiotomies. I refer Henci Goer’s book to anyone I meet who is considering a natural childbirth and asks me for advice. I had 2 natural childbirths in a hospital for both of my children and this book really helped me understand the goals of my birth plan and help me understand the medical interventions I might need or want depending on how my body was handling labor.
