recommends it for: anyone considering homebirth
This book is a quick, easy read, filled with lots of great information. It's also much easier to swallow than Henci Goer's The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth-- which is also an important book, but is soooo much scarier! I highly recommend this book to anyone considering homebirth or anybody who has a loved one who wants to give birth in the safety of her own home.

Read in August, 2008
I really liked this book. It presented the pros and cons for birth in and out of a hospital setting. It had many great suggestions for dealing with slow labor and pain during labor, but is not a definitive guide for that sort of thing. It is definitely a good read for someone trying to make the decision about the best place to birth.
