By mommy writer (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Wise Birth: Bringing Together the Best of Natural Childbirth With Modern Medicine (Paperback)
This book does an excellent job summarizing and interpreting the history of birthing in the United States in the last 100 years or so. I makes a wonderful case for natural birth settings. Several lovely tales of Amish home birth. Then I felt totally betrayed in the end, when they made a completely unsubstantiated statement that birth is safest in birth centers. I take this to mean the authors either 1 - think American women are incapable of lovely home births due to the history they've given in this book or 2 - are trying to reconcile theirselves with modern medicine when the information they've presented, clearly indicates that modern medicine has little to offer normal birth.
