First time moms should read this book!

The book includes traditions about conception, pregancy, labor and birth and even how the husband can help. Did you ever wonder how we got a "baby shower"? Well in some places in the world the pregnant mother will be bathed with the foods she is craving.I enjoyed reading about other people's belilefs and methods of childbirth. This book tells of religious, cultural, superstitions and beliefs about childbirth. The Author gives you a view into the whole world. Most people aren't born in a hospital. This book can help ease some of your fears of the childbirth experience and give you confidence in not having a lot of intervention. People without technology have thier own way of expalining things. Some of them are even rather humorous. You may even realize how many superstitions we still cling to today. I read this book to my whole family while I was pregnant and we picked some of the ideas to use for our baby's birth. It was very enjoyable reading even for my husband.
