This is a MUST READ for EVERY woman! I recommend my doula clients read this book so they have a better understanding of what is ahead of them for their hospital birth. So many women put their Doctors on a pedestal assuming they don't have other lives or agenda's. This book lays it all out on the table. It's VERY scary what we women are up against! As a professional birth assistant (doula), it was a hard read for me because it made me very angry. It's the truth and what I see happen to my clients. It's sad, but true. It certainly brings out the activist in me. Marsden has put all the studies in there and I use it as a resource for clients and colleagues. EXCELLENT book. You MUST READ this!! Thank God for Marsden Wagner! Thanks Marsden for stepping up and telling us all the truth!
I think every woman and man should read this book! Marsden Wagner has taken a risk by publishing it but somebody has to shed light on the ill child birth practices used in the United States. Those countries where homebirth is the norm have by far safer birth. This book not only helps women and men be educated on the processes of hospital birth, they are also able to work though their own birth fear by facing intimately how they were most likely born in a cruel hospital setting. I am glad we have hospitals for emergencies but I think it is time to take child birth out of them and leave it to the midwives who have by far a better understanding on how a woman's body works. A good book to "experience" positive birthing (very rare in this culture), I would suggest reading "Ina May's Guide to Childbirth."Read full review
This book was very informative. I learned a lot of things about the hospital setting that I was not aware of before but after the author sheds light on behind the scenes things that are taken place, I really began to see that it’s all true. I would recommend this book to anyone willing to learn about what’s really going on in the labor and delivery rooms.
