Review title: what I wish I had known before buying this book
Product review: First off, this book is meant to be a companion to a course. I bought the book thinking it was something I could read and study at home. That is not what it is meant for. There are many references to class handout materials and audio tapes that I don't have. As far as I can see, the handouts aren't sold seperately on the website (they are bundled with the book) and I can't seem to find where there are classes in my area.I took great offense to chapter 2 of this book where the author outlines her view of the history of pain in childbirth. She basically blames Christianity and the Catholic church. I just didn't need to pay money to be insulted.There are many exercises that I can practice at home (so its not a total waste), but I have no idea if I am doing them correctly as the book is not meant to stand alone.I have yet to give birth, so I can't comment on the course's effectiveness.
