Negative Positive
Title: Skip this book
Review: I bought this during my first pregnancy and really regretted it! It has a thoroughly negative outlook on pregnancy and birth (i.e. what 'could' go wrong)This book gave me the feeling I would have lots of (unneccesary) interventions- IV, episiotomy, epidural,etc. in birth.This is the perfect hypochondriac's directory --you think you have all the ailments described in the book after reading about all the very commonplace symptoms fo pregnany. This book doesn't begin to address natural childbirth or complementary healthcare. Buy "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper and "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" by LLL and anything by Sheila Kitzinger for a much more postive view of pregnancy and birth.
