Rating: - good book
This is a good book. Really it is. I love those sorts of books though.. a peak into a real persons life.

Rating:  - if you want ONE book about unassisted childbirth, this is NOT the one

Rating: - Birth Books Are My Passion
Birth books are my passion. Yet I have long ago stopped reading those that keep the prevailing myth in place -- that is, birth is innately painful. I had three babies without pain and wondered where Laurie Morgan has been all of my life when I picked up her book?
The Power of Pleasureable Childbirth is totally validating! As Ms Morgan points out, birth looks to be inherently painful in our society. In other words, our fear of birth is inherited. I figured this out decades ago, with the help ... Read More
