Practical and Inspiring

This simple, yet inspiring, book of all kinds of birth stories really helped me when I gave birth. I recommend it to all pregnant women. Good for midwives and doctors, too! Maybe they could learn something to help their patients give birth in a way that is meaningful to the women, not all tied up in the medical model where the woman comes last.
