Negative Positive
Title: Maybe this was written for a previous generation?
Review: I can't help but feel as though this book is trapped in some kind of mysterious time warp, where modern obstetrical technology meets the social values of the 1950's.Some of the Best Odds recipes are pretty good, even if the whole diet is incredibly restrictive, and some of the information about hospital procedures is interesting (if overly weighted toward passive acceptance of whatever someone in a white coat thinks is best for you.)But the section on labor was a trip. Let me get this straight -- after labor starts, but before I go to the hospital, I'm supposed to pass the time by *preparing food for other people*?Yeah, right.
Is the review positive or negative?
