Title: simply not worth it; feels like a way to sell birthing classes
Product review: if it wasn't for the breathing and the talk about staying calm and focused, I'd give this book 1 star. Its terrible. What's sad is that I agree hospitals do get it wrong for most standard pregnancies. However I dislike the anti medical establishment that runs through the book and I greatly detest the implication that if you don't succeed at the methods in this book its your fault for not trying hard enough. She really glosses over anything that could go wrong and when she does confront it she blames the hospitals for everything. Or the mother. She seems to forget that in the good ol' days, a lot of women actually died in child birth. And in fact a lot of women still do. I really do think that the method was designed to simply sell the birthing classes.For an infinitely better book on natural birthing, read anything by Ina May.
