Adventures in Natural Childbirth Tales from Women on the Joys Fears Pleasures and Pains of Giving Birth Naturally
Over the last few years, more and more women have been resisting the allure of "labor-free" elective C-sections in favor of the benefits of natural childbirth. Not only is it widely considered the best and safest way to deliver a child, natural childbirth empowers women by reinforcing their belief in themselves and their abilities. In Adventu...  more » editor Janet Schwegel taps into this growing movement with a fascinating collection of personal, engaging, and revealing stories from thirty-nine women on their journey through pregnancy, labor, and natural childbirth. These women's tales capture the full range of emotions and physical sensations natural childbirth can evoke—from calm to fear, from elation to pain, and everything in between—and give readers a true sense of the joys and the hardships involved. Divided into sections by caregiver (midwife, doula, physician, or unattended) and complete with essays from practitioners on their roles in natural birth and how they help women achieve their goals, Adventures in Natural Childbirth is essential reading for any woman who is considering—or is simply curious about—giving birth naturally.

Excellent! It's real stories of women who desired natural births, whether in hospital, birth center or at home (with or without medical attendants). Labor and Delivery is unique for every woman and each of her births: the stories have a wide variety of outcomes, and the book doesn't pretend that everyone will be able to do it all naturally. Yet it encourages us to try, and to come to terms with the outcomes... good, bad, and just plain unexpected.
