Review

Remarkable... as wonderful about the Amish as it is about midwifery--The New York Times

Product Description

When hospital-trained midwife Penny Armstrong takes on a job delivering the babies of the Amish, she discovers an approach to giving birth which would change her life forever. A Midwife'ss Story is a life-affirming book that never fails to enlighten, inform and surprise. Honest and ultimately very moving, it is inspirational reading for all student midwives and expectant parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great book, 6 Feb 2007

A. Campbell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Midwife's Story (Paperback)

I read this book a couple of years ago while I was still training to be a midwife and having just finished Penny and Sheryl's next book A Wise Birth I am reminded what an important book this is/was to me and how much of what they write about has stayed with me. It is vivid and moving and a fascinating insight into Penny's journey from being a hospital midwife to working and living with the Amish community

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful,true stories of homebirth in the Amish community!, 10 Feb 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Midwife's Story (Mass Market Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It pictures how truly wonderful, natural and peaceful childbirth can be when faith and love are present and fear is absent. If only all women had such a midwife and trusted their own bodies!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all trainee midwives & obstetricians, 13 Feb 2004

R. Graceson (Leicestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Midwife's Story (Hardcover)

This book is fantastic. Moving, informative, interesting, funny and honest. In these times of increasing interventions and medicalisation of childbirth, this gives a compelling insight into the innate ability of women to birth their babies. I think it should be on the curriculum for all midwives, obstetricians, doctors and antenatal educators. Not only that but it is a wonderful read for any new or expectant parent.

Although this book was written a number of years ago, the message is even more valid today. Buy it, you won't regret it!

Being a Scottish trained Midwife, I initially took umbridge at the author's rather deprecatory image of her training in Glasgow. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars great read
Lovely book. It's effectively ghost-written but reads as though written by the midwife, Penny. Interesting life story and insight into Amish community.
