    <body><![CDATA[A good, solid, and accurate source of information on most aspects of pregnancy and childbirth.  If you want easy, short answers, look elsewhere.  If you think of yourself as intelligent, want to be informed, and intend to make your own choices, this book is a very good place to start.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Of all the pregnancy books, this was the most useful. It had all I needed to know, great photos, and it prepared me for a natural birth experience. It's not political; it's practical and interesting. I have bought this book for all my pregnant friends.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book has a lot of good information that I had not read in any other of the basic books. It also has some good pictures and diagrams. There is a whole chapter that focuses on relaxation and breathing during labor.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wish I'd found this book before picking up &quot;What to Expect&quot; or &quot;Great Expectations.&quot; I love the focus on natural, positive childbirth. Great pictures, charts, and writing. From the beginning to end: awesome. ]]></body>
