A MUST READ for all women who have undergone a c-section, and women who want to avoid one in the future. Empowering, brutally honest and revealing, this a great book for midwives, doulas, and their clients, as well as first-time expectant mothers. 5 stars!!

By the time I read this - it was too late. When I DID read this book I was appalled - the scams perpetrated by the doctors and hospital in Florida where I delivered my second child were all here in black and white. Once a doctor finds out that you have insurance you can be almost certain that some "emergency" situation will befall you and out will come the scalpel. You may think that the biggest moneymaker for hospitals is cardiac surgery - but you'd be wrong. Cesarean sections are by far the biggest moneymakers for doctors and hospitals. It's all right here - exactly what your doctor will say! The warning signs that it is time to switch doctors are here word-for-word. Consider a midwife. Stay away from doctors. Find support among mothers who deliver at home. Doctors lie for profit and to keep their licenses. Also, your baby needs your breast milk - know before you deliver how important this is. And beware small, Florida hospitals!
