I recommend this book to EVERYONE!!! To me, it is a MUST READ if you are planning on having a baby. It is very informative and not bias. It lays out the facts and allows you to make decisions on how you want your child birth experience to be.

I have not purchased this book myself, my midwife has lent it to me but I will buy it when I have to return it.

This book has an abundant amount of useful information, for during pregnancy, during recovery and even afterward for breastfeeding. There's a whole chapter on herbs and how they can be used to have a healthy pregnancy, delivery and even a healthy breastfeeding experience. There's a chapter all about epidurals and other pain medications and how they affect birth and the baby. There's an entire chapter on home birth, one on water birth and one on breastfeeding, among other chapters. I have yet to read those but it's next for me.

The book reads well and you could easily read it cover to cover or just skip around to what is relevant. It is definitely a book that you would refer to over and over again for a long time. I'll be buying it very soon.

I read this before my third baby, who was born through a VBAC. I wish I would have known more about the birthing process, effects of drugs during pregnancy and labor, and the woman's body in general. This book empowered me to make informed decisions for having our third baby. I love it and have bought it for first-time mommies-to-be.

Please be aware that this is the newest version of Breck Hawk's book available now from Square One Publishers (it has been since earlier this year). If you want brand spankin' new copies of this book, you've come to the right place. Hey, who's buying this book, anyway? You are!!
