Publisher's Summary
Drawing upon her 40-plus years of experience, Ina May Gaskin, the nation's leading midwife, shows the benefits and joys of physiological childbirth by showing women how to trust the ancient wisdom of their bodies for a healthy and fulfilling birthing experience.
Based upon the midwifery model of care that recognizes that spontaneous labor in healthy women cannot be improved upon, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth gives expectant mothers comprehensive information on everything from the all-important mind-body connection to how to give birth without technological intervention-as well as how to know when such intervention is necessary.
Filled with inspiring birth stories and practical advice, this invaluable resource includes:
- Reducing the pain of labor without drugs and the amazing role that touch and free movement play.
- What really happens during labor.
- Orgasmic birth-testimonies from those who experienced it.
- And much more...

The narration is a robot
I'm sure the book is good but I just couldn't finish it with the narration. The robot voice was very distracting. I personally couldn't stand it.

The voiceover ruins the book
I hope for future listeners that the voiceover gets updated. So robotic it makes it hard to enjoy the book.

Must be read!
This book is so informative! It helped me to make wise decisions and advocate for myself in the hospital. If you want to avoid trauma or you feel fear about giving birth I strongly recommend this book!

Encouraging, informative and relevant
This book is a must read if you desire a pregnancy, birth and postpartum in line with the wonderful way they're created to be. I feel so much better heading towards a first birth after listening to this.

This book is amazing however the audio is not.
I read this book throughout my first pregnancy and found it so incredibly helpful in regards to having and inspiring me to have a natural birth so the above reviews are confusing to me? I think when it comes to having a natural birth, this book is truly helpful. However I would suggest reading it verses the audio book. The narrator sounds like a robot who calls your house trying to sell something. It isn’t very pleasant to listen to! Definitely recommend the hard copy instead.
