Negative Positive
Title: Dangerously Misleading
Review: This book is a wonderful example of what's wrong with childbirth in this country -- the pregnant woman is expected to be a passive, compliant patient, trusting her doctor to have all the right answers. The truth is that the only person who cares enough about your unborn child to make the right decisions is you (and your partner)and this book will NOT help you make good decisions. This book will help you be a good patient, like there is something wrong with you and only the expert doctor can fix you. Save your money, save your birth, save your baby. Buy something like Henci Goer's "The Thinking Woman's Guide to A Better Birth" and find out what you really should expect while you're expecting! If you are interested in what's happening with your baby developmentally, there are lots of great picture books out there that don't have the underlying message that you are in danger by being pregnant. I'm glad I bought this used and didn't waste a lot of money on it.
