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.
