I have used this book in orientation of new labor & delivery nurses with great success. It really opens the eyes of the orientee to other options than a 100% epidural rate.

If you reach for a midwifery book, in general you are pregnant and considering it as a birth option or interested in midwifery itself. There aren't a lot of general interest readers but Vincent's book is in a position to change it. It is both a memoir of a powerful ...             Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care44 reviews Jennifer Block Da Capo Press, 2008 Another c-section casualty I had a completely complication-free pregnancy and planned on a natural birth.

When I protested, be brought in two colleagues and the three of ...             It's My Ovaries, Stupid!24 reviews Elizabeth Lee Vliet Scribner, 2003 A Response to a male review I have yet to read the book, but I was reading over the reviews and I found it funny that a male was so ticked off that Dr. Vliet only spoke of female issues. For one, you just appear ignorant for being upset about a disease that will never inflict a male (i.e. PCOS). Secondly men do not visit the doctors as regularily as females do and to try and discredit Dr. Vliet is nonsense! Most males ...             Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy128 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2006 Great Great information and it gets to the point.

Benson Marlowe & Company, 1998 It was comprehensive -- yet easy to read and understand. I just had the opportunity to read "Pregnancy Myths" by Dr. Michael Benson.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all those considering pregnancy as well as those in the midst ...             Natural Woman, Natural Menopause12 reviews Marcus Laux, Christine Conrad Harper Paperbacks, 1998 At Last! No more Provera! I am a 53 year old woman who underwent menopause at 43, and since I still have my uterus, I struggled with Premarin and it's ugly sidekick Provera for almost 8 years. I even tried Dr. John Lee's Progesterone alternative, but to no avail. Then finally, a female friend suggested that I go see her naturopathic MD here in Scottsdale. She put me on the "naturals" and within a few months I was ...             The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians: Tips and Techniques from Conception to Birth : How to Stay Sane ...13 reviews Rachel Pepper Cleis Press, 1999 An excellent resource! I found this book to be especially helpful during the trying-to-conceive and early pregnancy phases.

Nevertheless, this book was absolutely indispensable to me during the emotionally challenging process of selecting a donor, using intrauterine insemination, managing medical issues ...             The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman : Relief at last for PMS, mood swings, fatigue, hair loss, adult acne, ...14 reviews Geoffrey Redmond, 2005 Dr Redmond changed my life! I went to Dr. Redmond over three years ago with a whole host of female problems that were preventing me from feeling good and enjoying my life.

I went through two of Gary Craig's courses, then began buying books on the subject for further (and different) information. Gloria Arenson's book is simply the best. The reviews here cover most of what I was going to say, so I'll just add a paragraph. First, the author lays eveything out in a clear, friendly, useful way. Second, she gives ...             The Doula Advantage: Your Complete Guide to Having an Empowered and Positive Birth with the Help of a ...11 reviews Rachel Gurevich Prima Lifestyles, 2003 So much better than The Doula Book! This is the best book about doulas I've ever read. It is much and much better than The Doula Book and as far as I'm concerned this book should be required reading for doula certification in stead of the Doula Book. Also for people who want to know what a doula is and does, this book is the best by far. I highly recommend it for everybody who works with pregnant women and women in labor, as well ...             With You and Your Baby All the Way : Complete Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, Recovery, and Baby Care12 reviews Jerri Colonero Bull Publishing Company, 1998 Absolutely fantastic book!
