Word Tincture

This book is distilled wisdom, a word tincture. It is just what is needed to assuage the fears of mothers-to-be and those who already gave birth, in Jane English's terms, "through a different doorway" -- that is, by cesarean section surgery.Whenever I meet a mother who has been previously sectioned, I recommend this book. Indeed, any mother benefits from the healing dose of midwifery lore in this collection."Knowledge is Power", so says an inscription in Artemis Speaks. However, this book goes deeper than mere information -- herein are the best ideas for healing birth -- knowledge fallen into the compassionate heart of Nan Koehler.

Best of the Best

Having had five children with an entirely different birth each time, including an emergency c-section due to placeta previa with my fourth child and a VBAC with my fifth child who weighed in at 10# even, I found this book to be outstanding. It gives wonderful and helpful information in avoiding a c-section and/or accomplishing a VBAC. Some of the information went a little too far for me, but, regardless of that, 99% of the information and stories in this book helped me achieve my VBAC and come to terms with my necessary c-section.

The best childbirth book

Artemis Speaks is the best childbirth-related book. Nan Koehler really describes what childbirth is really like, unlike other books that gloss over the pain and intensity. This is an extremely valuable and wise book.

This book is very informative and wonderfully written.

I have 5 children, the oldest 20 the youngest 4 and I still continue to use this book.
