This will forever be a book I will return to in my future midwifery practise to remind myself what I stand for and how I want to work/walk with women.
There's not much to say. I flew through all the birth stories and I have so much hope and confidence in women's power and autonomy in birth. This book just solidified it for me.
Thank you for being a legend, Ina May!

This book was also lovely, but a little less useful to prospective moms. The latter parts are more of a textbook for midwifery, which is really cool but not quite as necessary for those of us on the receiving end of that care to know. :) The birth stories are wonderful, though.
This was a fantastic book for an expecting father to read. (Others, to be sure, should read it, too, but this is where I am coming from.)
It was a trip to read such hippy-dippy language, but it was cool to learn the origins of some of the words I found so odd.

If you like hippies, perhaps you will like it when they give birth. I sure do.
Astonishingly crunchy, more so than her other book. Still felt very empowering once you get past people talking about how "heavy" an experience birth was.
