Title: So much missing...
Review: This book is definitely lacking in the resources and research department.Only two doula organizations listed?What aboutBirth Arts International- [...]ALACE- [,...]CBI- [..]Additionally:The biased and blatantly wrong paragraph about homebirth is untrue and contradicting the research that says it is safe. Did the author read the studies?Asking permission to have a doula, that is what is wrong with birth in hospitals. Women are paying for a service, birth is theirs, they do not need to ask permission to have a doula present. Your body, your baby, your choice. You are the expert of your body. Birth is about empowering women.Waterbirth? Waterbirth is a safe option for women having babies, yet it is not mentioned at all.Midwifery- Midwifery is completely left out as an option women have, Nurse Midwives, Certified Practical Midwives, Licensed Midwives. Midwives have the best outcomes overall, so it is interesting that this was completely left out of this "evidence" based text.
Is this product review negative?
