Author: Guest My husband and I are taking the Bradley classes for natural childbirth and this book was required reading. It is easy to read and very educational. The book is realistic (doesn't claim to make childbirth painless) and detailed. I would highly recommend it to anybody expecting whether or not natural childbirth is your goal.
Author: Guest This book was both good and bad.
Good because it gives readers detailed descriptions and pictures of what a woman's body goes through during each of the 3 stages of labor. It even goes as far as giving an emotional map of what the woman will be going through and how her coach (or husband) can reassure her.
Bad because the premise of it is that childbirth should be natural and drug free. In keeping true with this belief, the book almost uses scare tactics to convince women that accepting even the lowest dose of anethesia can be harmful to her. As a first time mom-to-be who has no point of reference when it comes to labor, after reading this book, I was truly afraid of anything that nurses/doctors would offer me to minimize pain should it occur.
Should you decide to purchase this book, I really recommend you also get another perspective on the birthing without medication issue, preferably something that does not scare you so you can make an informed decision when the time comes.
Author: Guest This book is excellent. It has changed me from someone who was ready to be knocked out for an elective C-section right now, into a firm natural childbirth fan. Fingers crossed it works. The one thing is, the pictures of women in the process of giving birth are a little graphic, could have done without that.
Author: Guest I think this book is some what helpful and gives information that you can get through reading this book instead of going to the bradley classes and this is much cheaper.
Author: Guest My wife and I decided to use the Bradley Method after the recommendation of a friend. I read Husband Coached Childbirth and my wife read this one. She found it very helpful, even-handed, and informative.
Initially I was very hesitant to accept the method, but the classes won me over, and the book helped my wife prepare in a big way, and that is most important to me.
