I started reading this book today and I have to say it is really fascinating. Now, I'm not planning on popping out babies anytime soon but this book (already) has made me think about what I want my birthing experience to be like.
Another really interesting part of this book is that the woman who is telling these stories started nursing school in the 1960s. Of course, that was a time of great change with the civil rights movement and all of that. She also got to see the change from childbirth being strictly "women's work" and men not being allowed into the delivery room to a time where that was accepted and even encouraged.
