Do you go to Barnes and Noble or Tattered Cover looking for a book on pregnancy and childbirth and then…as you stand in front of the looming bookcase in front of you…do you think – WHICH ONE?????
Well, there are lots of terrific books out there and a lot of not-so-terrific books. You may be surprised to find out that the books that are positive, thorough and evidence-based are not the ones you thought! So, to help take the guess work out of choosing the most comprehensive and most interesting (you don’t want to read a bunch of boring statistics, do you?) selection of reading material, we have compiled the following list.
All these books should be available at your neighborhood book store of choice or on Amazon. Happy Reading!
Pregnancy, Childbirth and The Newborn by Janet Walley, Ann Keppler and Penny Simkin
Ina May’s Guide To Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin
The Official Lamaze Guide by Judith Lothian and Charlotte DeVries
