Life-Changing Book October 19, 2008
This is one of the most important books ever written or published. It changed my life, and I'm not the only one. It is invaluable both for its collection of first-person birth stories, and for Ina May's brilliant analysis of the things she's learned about childbirth over three + decades as a midwife. This is the first book that a pregnant woman should buy, if she wants to truly understand the options available to her for her birth.
Alice Walker is right: this book has the power to improve the lives of everyone on the planet.
I had a beautiful home birth because I this book!!! August 16, 2008
This book is a wonderful resource for any pregnant woman. Friendly and welcoming in it's tone it plants the seeds of thought for holistic care without pushing those philosophies on to the reader. The first half of the book is filled with wonderful birth stories writen by women, so if you are not too 'into' the holistic side, the book is worth getting just for these possitive tales. The second half is Ina May's take on pregnancy and birth -fascinating.
I read this book in 2004 while pregnant with my son and it completely changed the way I thought about birth. I WENT ON TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DRUG FREE HOMEBIRTH BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK! Inspired by this experience I am now training to become a Doula. Could it all be down to this book?..
This book cured my fear of childbirth! December 11, 2007

As a second time mum to be facing another caesarian, I was looking for a book which gave me some information on options for VBAC. While this book isn't specifically about VBAC it is an entirely positive but realistic book, the first half of which is full of birth stories which were inspiring. I'm sure I'll read it again and recommend it to pregnant friends.
Love it! December 1, 2007
I have read a lot of childbirth books and this is my favorite. It's great to read real and positive childbirth stories. Ina May is such an inspirational writer. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Fantastic book October 26, 2007
This is a brilliant book and such a refreshing change from 'what to expect when you are expecting', as it tells you what few other pregnancy books tell you - that childbirth is natural and your body is built for the job so don't panic! It is on the 'hippy' side, so take out what you need. I ended up reading the book once then swotting up again just before the birth to get me focussed. Both my two children were born at home.
