Title: Don't buy this book
Review: My midwife actually recommended this book, but I was very dissapointed with it. I found that the information was dated and some of the thoughts were rediculous. I was raised in a family of "long haired hippies" and even I found this book to be way over the top. Carl Jones has obviously never given birth himself but is full of opinions about the pleasurable and borderline orgasmic experience that it can be. Give me a break! Labor is gonna hurt regardless of how many pretty flowers you invision and just because a baby comes out of the same place a woman has intercourse does not mean they are similar experiences for the woman. Take my advise and get Easing Labor Pain by Adrienne Lieberman. It gives great tips on visualization and relaxation techniques for a natural childbirth and she explains the entire birthing process in a realistic way.
