Excellent explanations of labour and how to ease it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Labor Pain: A Natural Approach to Easing Delivery (Paperback)
I'm only half way through a borrowed copy of this book, but had to have my own copy to have in one hand when I go into labour! Nicky Wesson explains all the processes of labour in a way that's understandable but not too simplistic, and brings in the mental aspect too. If you're looking for a book to give you an overview of the whole experience of labour, lots of advice on how to prepare yourself mentally and physically all through your pregnancy, how to deal with doctors and midwives and decide how and where you want to give birth, this is the ideal book.

Great Author,
By A Customer
This review is from: Labor Pain: A Natural Approach to Easing Delivery (Paperback)
I have read another of this author's books, about infertility, and really found her to be of great help and sympathetic. I am now pregnant, and aprehensive about the birth, and every time I read another chapter, feel more positive and less nervous about the upcoming event. She manages to communicate all the scientific background to labour in a very easy to understand way. I feel I understand the process much better, and appreciated the sections on proper methods to use to ease discomfort. I highly recommend this book to any pregnant woman who is apprehensive about her upcoming birth; this is a very soothing book to read.

Ignore the editorial review- this is an EXCELLENT book,
By Milk Socket - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Labor Pain: A Natural Approach to Easing Delivery (Paperback)
This book is one of the best I've read about labor and coping with it. There is a good mix of practical suggestions and factual data from studies etc. Not everything will work for everyone but something here will inspire you. Whoever wrote in the review above that they didn't like being told labor will hurt is in fantasy land. It WILL hurt but you can cope with it and this book will I believe, help you with this.I presonally found this book much better than "Birthing From Within". BFW has so much new agey art therapy [thats] going on it's hard to dig out the information. Wesson's book on the other hand gets right to the facts without the fluff. And it's not overwhelming either. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

Excellent resource for natural birth,
By H. King - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Labor Pain: A Natural Approach to Easing Delivery (Paperback)
My friend passed this book on to me after her first birth, which she was able to do all natural, telling me that it had been very helpful to her. I have read it cover to cover, and it is great! It has suggestions for herbal and homeopathic remedies for labor, birth and postpartum, which are hard to find elsewhere. Read this book if you paln on having a drug-free birth. It is a quick and easy read.

Not quite what was expected,
By J. Marony - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Labor Pain: A Natural Approach to Easing Delivery (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it'd be more or less an encyclopedia of natural pain relief methods... aromatherapy, massage, homeopathy, reflexology, etc. To a certain extent, it was, but the first 40+ pages simply repeated the same message, stated as a fact: Labor is going to be absolutely the most horrible, excruciating pain you've ever had. I was put off by this for a couple of reasons. First, a paragraph would have sufficed, not half the book. And second, if I had read this book before I had my first baby, I'd have been scared out of my mind, and that fear would have made things worse! I just had my second baby, (both born naturally), and neither labor was "excruciating".
There are a few worthwhile chapters, if you're looking for essential oils that specifically benefit labor or listings of homeopathic remedies and so on, but they aren't as thorough as they could be. |
