I forgot how much I love "Your Best Birth"

(the Rikki Lake book). I read it near the end of my last pregnancy and remembered it was good, so it's the second book I've picked up this time (the first being "Panic-Free Pregnancy"). And it makes me feel so excited to have a baby again! I've almost hired my doula (we decided to go with the backup that attended Owen's birth). I'm back with the same doctor as last time, so I have confidence that she's great and what she says is what she does.

Anyway, if you like "The Business of Being Born", you'd love "Your Best Birth". It's great.

    I loved that one!  It's really nice to have a book that I can recommend to other moms who want to know more about natural birth, without making myself sound like a relic (or  a hippie).  Don't get me wrong...I love reading Ina May's and Bradley's books.  But to someone just looking for a little information, they can be a bit intense. :-)

    Yes, I have kept away of those books because I have an anti-hippie shield that will not let me even finish one chapter... Also I don't want to change my mind about natural birth and I think reading about natural birth as the ONLY good way would make me go against it.

    A good general book is "The Big Book of Birth". It's probably slanted a bit pro-epidural, but it's got good information about all the options.

    Personally, the more I read, the more I can't help be convinced that natural birth is the best option. I still can't get into Ina May and Bradley, though. It's just too emotional for my scientific brain. I prefer a bit more of the "cold hard facts" perspective.
