Good books?

I have read Ina May's book. Are there any other good books that you recommend for FTM doing a non medicated birth?

    Husband Coached Childbirth was nice just from the perspective of everything that happens to your body in labor.

    I read the husband coached child birth book as we took the Bradley classes. I had a hospital birth with an OB so I wanted to be prepared. I found "The thinking womans guide to a better birth" by Henci Goer very helpful. It talks about all the interventions you may encounter, when they are need, and why. I really liked it. I have also heard that the book "Birth without fear" is good. I never got a chance to read it though. Several people here recommend "the birth partner by Penny Simkin.

    I read Birthing From Within and really liked it, although I did like Ina May's book better. There's a lot of birth art talk in Birthing From Within.
