A wondeful book,
By Katie Butcher (Neath, Wales UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birth Your Way (Paperback)
I suffered PTSD after having my first child in hospital. I was so damaged by the experience that I decided to have any more children. But unexpectedly I fell pregnant 6 years later, I was terrified. I was so relived when I read this book, there were other women who had been through the same thing! It gave me confidence and although nervous I decided to have a home birth with the aid of a midwife. It was fantastic, my daughter was born on the sofa with no trouble!! I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who has experienced trauma in a hospital birth and are looking for an alternative for the next one. Inspirational and informative, a must read!!

Incredibly helpful and supportive book,
This review is from: Birth Your Way (Paperback)
I'm pregnant with my first baby, and as soon as I started thinking about the birth I had a niggle that was telling me I'd prefer to give birth at home. As it was my first baby though, I thought I was perhaps being unrealistic. Someone recommended this book to me and I read it cover to cover - then went straight to my next midwife appointment and booked my home birth. Since booking the home birth my husband expressed a few concerns about having the baby away from hospital but I was able to point him to the relevant sections of this book to reassure him that a home birth was no more risky than a hospital birth in a low risk pregnancy like mine.
I feel completely confident with my decision now and hope that things stay complication free so that I can have my home birth as planned.

Out of date and biased,

This review is from: Birth Your Way (Paperback)
I had had this book recommended to me by our nct leader...
It starts in a how to defend your choice of a home birth to your midwife which these days is not required. I got half way and still had not talked about practicalities, complications or preparations in any way. At this point i put it down and didnt pick it up again. Felt patronised and still hadnt read a single useful or encouraging thing. Dont bother buying would be my view but maybe skip to second half it may be better...
