5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must read, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This book is the best I have come across. It's full of comprehensive, unbiased info that enables you to be armed with knowledge for the most unique experience of your life. You can take control and make decisions that you feel comfortable with. Knowledge is power!!
If you only read one book to prepare you for birth, make it this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU'RE EXPECTING - YOU M-U-S-T READ THIS BOOK !!!, 27 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Extremely well-written, concise, and factual. This book presents the options available to today's expectant parents in a refreshingly informative yet unbiased fashion. This is one to OWN (and treasure), not just borrow! - Debi Lewis, Certified Childbirth Educator for Birth Works

5.0 out of 5 stars The best gift you can give your pregnant friends!, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Dr. and Mrs. Sears, thank you! This book has given my husband and me the courage of our conviction that less medical intervention is more for our baby. It is the most informative, uplfting and empowering pregancy book I have seen. Dr. and Mrs. Sears recognize that giving birth is a natural thing for most woman, and women should understand it as such. The information in the book is presented in an easy to understand cost vs. benefit manner, giving the expectant parents the facts they need to decide what tests and other interventions they might or might not want. DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!
