[.uk] Mothering Magazine's Having a Baby, Naturally: The ... (ISBN 0743439635)

I expected more from Mothering. :P:
Let me start by saying this is not a BAD book. If you are looking for an introduction to Natural Birth, this is a good beginner's guide. HOWEVER ~ having been a reader of Mothering magazine for a number of years, I expected something a bit more earthy, natural, and... well, RADICAL. This book is not it. It does discuss a wealth of topics, and as an alternative to some atrocity like the ridiculous "What to Expect..." guides, this is great, and I encourage you to read it ~ as a jumping off point for something a bit more Natural, like "Prenatal Yoga and Natural Childbirth," by Jeannine Parvati Baker. I walked away from this book disappointed, and with the distinct suspicion that Peggy O'Mara watered down her views simply to appeal to a wider audience.

not enough info for me:
I found the chapters short and lacking in information. I would recomend Dr. Sears' books over this one. I was very dissapointed in this book, dispite the fact that I love mothering magazine. Please, don't waste your money. Especially if this is your first pregnancy. I recommend The birth book and the pregnancy book by Dr. Sears.

Guide book:
Anything that comes from Mothering Magazine I have found to be sound information. It is nice to know that there are concious people out there who trust in nature.

Fabulous book!:
GREAT book!! Highly recommended for anyone who'd like to learn more about their options in childbirth. For a natural health promoter such as myself, I thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning... not pregnant yet, but plan to be in the future and this helped inform me of what to look forward too and the choices that I have.

Comprehensive Guide to Natural Pregnancy/Childbirth:
This is a really great resource that I think all moms should have. It covers EVERYTHING related to natural pregnancy and childbirth. :) It's a comprehensive book on having a baby naturally!
