Customer Reviews

Insightful and thoroughly readable!

Even though I am early in my pregnancy and the realities of labor loom distant, I not only enjoyed reading the stories of birth, I learned a lot about myself and my own opinions of how I want my baby's birth to happen. Ms. Zimmer captures the joys and pains of the very different styles of giving birth. What the women in this book all share, however, is a truly positive view of their labor even if it didn't go as planned. For a pregnant woman, hearing how wonderful labor can be, however it may be, is not only reassuring but exciting.
