Helpful Score: 5

An oldie but goodie. Ina May's classic book about birth. A lovely ready, though the language is very much situated in the hippie era, during which it was written. Birth stories of women who trust birth abound, and the story of how Ina May got her start is a great read. I wouldn't put this at the top of a list for every expecting mom, but for those drawn to midwifery and the midwifery model of care, it is more than worth a browse-through!! I have read and re-read it several times myself (I bought it about ten years before I got pregnant and it was a nice introduction to the world of childbirth).
