 Very Helpful for My Husband August 11, 2008
In response to the other reviews, I'd like to say that this book was written to the husband of the woman having a baby, not to the woman herself. It's written by a man who has assisted hundreds (thousands?) of women during natural births to men who will be coaching, supporting and helping their wives through their own natural births. As a woman who has had two natural births and is anticipating her third in January, I read this before asking my husband to read it. Over and over I thought, "Oh, I'd love for my husband to think about that." or "It would be really helpful for my husband to know this." He then read it and found it very enlightening as to what is going on during the stages of birth, how I might be feeling, what I should be doing, and how he can help.
 Don't buy this as substitute for classes. July 17, 2008
We bought this book because we did not learn about the Bradley method till I was 6 months pregnant and couldn't find a session that had openings and finished before the due date. We knew a lot about the method and were very interested in using it in the birth of our first baby. We expected that the book would give us more information on the principles of the Bradley method than it did. The book's basic motiv is just to convince you that nonmedicated natural childbirth is the best way. We already knew that; we just wanted some literature beyond lamaze to show us how to manage the pain more effectively. Don't waste the money on the book; try to sign up for the classes.
Great read for Father's AND Mother's to be July 7, 2008
This book put into perspective the role of the husband/partner and how important that role is during the birth process. When we found out we were expecting our first baby my husband just thought I'd be doing all the work and he'd just be there in case I needed him but that I'd probably need the midwives more. After a Bradley Method Instructor gave the book to my husband he decided that he would jump in and be involved because this was just as much his birth experience too. This book not only gave us tools necessary to having a natural childbirth but made our bond even closer as a husband and wife. After having a drug free labor/birth without any intervention and having a 9 pound baby girl my husband is SO glad he read and implemented the principles of this book. The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth...Naturally, It Works!!!
good book, poor writing June 30, 2008
This is a great book to help prepare for childbirth, but it's not written by a scholar. Easy reading and many great referrences for the average reader. One of the better books about natural childrbirth out there!
child birth May 16, 2008
Great book for tips on how to be prepared for childbirth, how to relax and how to get your partner to be a helpful participant in the birth. This book gave me lots of great tools to use for my birth plan.
