Summary: Promotes homebirth and an alternative birthing agenda
Review: Bravo Gail for your working in bringing us this smart little prenatal and birth handbook! Short yet to-the-point, it takes a month-by-month approach to pregnancy and looks at the options available to you as well as the many alternatives to mainstream medicine. Just the section on induction alone is worth the price of the book (chapter - fifth month) and I love her exerpting the best of the best books to provide solid information for pregnant women today. As a childbirth educator and doula this is one of the top books I recommend to my clients.

Summary: Promotes homebirth and an alternative birthing agenda
Review: This book is very much in favor of homebirth. The author is very much anti-doctor and anti-establishment -- an imporant thing to know in case your views of birth are a little more mainstream. While some of the information in the book is very useful (I will purchase my baby's layette based on the checklist contained in the book), I question the author's assertion that homebirth is as safe as hospital birth. It may offer some advantages, but safety isn't one of them.
