Helpful book about birth options

I got this book while pregnant with my first child. I was interested in natural childbirth, but I didn't know what kind of class to take. This book explained the different schools of thought and how the methods work. I found it to be a good way to compare the different methods, contrary to the previous review. The book doesn't make judgments, and also includes information on different medical interventions available, including epidurals and other drugs, as well as a section on C-section deliveries. Based on the information in this excellent book, I chose to take a HypnoBirthing class, because I felt that it best suited my needs. I was able to have a wonderful natural childbirth experience (with a certified Nurse-Midwife) as a result of carefully researching my options. I definitely recommend this book if you are interested in comparing childbirth options.
