5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource!, January 5, 1997
By A Customer
In a non-judgemental manner, this book covers ALL of the options for pain relief during labor and birth. It has accurate information, personal comments on subjects such as: epidural anesthesia, positioning, TENS, accupressure, support and much, much more! A must read for every expectant couple!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent info tool for any Mom-to-be, December 15, 2001
By Shaz "oi-you!" (Naples, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Whether you're fretting over your first time giving birth, or (like me) you're currently housing your 3rd baby, "Easing Labor Pain" is a must-have. Some women have contractions that they classify as "uncomfortable, but not unbearable", while others say it was the worst experience of their life. Good ol' Mother Nature always keeps us on our toes by offering no set pattern to tell one way or the other what degree of pain we'll suffer during labor. Instead of offering one particular method to use, "Easing Labor Pain" explains every option available; Lamaze or Bradley method? Epidural? What about "water birth"? Should I have induced labor? What drug-free options are there to relieve pain? Any question you can think of is covered in this 247-page gem, as well as the pros and cons of any particular procedure or method, allowing you to consider all options before heading into the delivery room. I'm a 3rd time birthing veteran (1 c-section, 1 VBAC), and yet I'm still thrilled to find a book that gives me info and ideas to consider regarding this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, Unique Book, March 22, 2002
By Nikdoula (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This book covers pain relief options available to expectant mothers - and just that. No goofy personal, religious, or spiritual beliefs to be pushed on anyone - just interesting, factual information written in a friendly manner.
