Negative Positive
Title: A scary and unhelpful read
Review: I'm actually throwing this book away. I'm not even pregnant yet, just trying, and I already feel like I've screwed up my pregnancy. I have been advocating a more natural birth for myself, without doctors and IVs and the typical interventions, and this book has made me feel that unless I consent to invasive procedures, receiving pain medications, allowing my labor to be measured by everyone else's standards, or being cut wide open, that I will have somehow "let down the team", or will bring on the horrible situations outlined in the book that can go wrong as a result.I'm going to try Dr. Sears' book; it has been highly recommended for women like me who want to try for a natural birth if it's possible. I don't want to feel guilty or worried to death about my choice, and that's exactly how this book made me feel!
