Title: WHAT are you doing HERE? Try "The Birth Book" By Sears and Sears instead!
Review: While this book provides much information about medicalized prenatal care and hospital labor and birth, it is as biased as it comes. I disliked the unsubstantiated anti-midwife stance, and the way the author presented the list of prenatal tests as inevitable and unquestionable. The discussions about the safety and accurace of these tests were incomplete and biased. I also found it absurd to include a chapter about possible complications and tell women not to read it. I also disliked the question-answer format. All of the information in this book can be found in other consumer-oriented books without the intervention-as-normal-and-desireable attitude
