Every Pregnant Woman Should Read!!!

I loved reading this book. I found the book easy to read, fluid and reconfirming advice I'd already received from friends, doctors and other information I've gathered along the way. This book was extremely comforting in the sense that a doctor who specializes in difficult births, let alone a normal, average births, validated my thoughts and feelings on preganancy, labor and delivery. I truly appreciated the authors emphasis on the "woman being involved and empowered" with decisions, expcially in regards to cesarean sections. I've already passed this book along to all my pregnant friends!

"Empowered Pregnancy" Delivers

Empowered pregnancy is about lifting the veil of assumptions, beliefs and old practices that keep a woman from making her own choices around her pregnancy and delivery. The book serves as a patient advocate to navigate through a complex medical system. The book reveals the truth that women have more control over their pregnancy than they know. This is a remarkable book. I'm recommending it to family members and friends.
