Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth
Three cheers for feminist pregnancy books. While it's not the most informative guide in terms of nitty-gritty medical and nutritional stuff, it's an excellent overview for the "progressive" pregnant gal out there, and gives equal attention and respect to alternative birthing methods, same-sex partners, etc. I would say there's definitely more of an emphasis on birth than pregnancy. While it certainly leans more towards natural birth, overall it's not as judgmental of medical intervention as some of the other more "militant" natural birth books out there. It was nice to see little snippets from real women...For example, one woman goes on and on about how yoga helped her so much during pregnancy and birth, while another admits that despite trying, she just couldn't get comfortable in a squatting position so she gave up on it, which is OK. This sort of thing is reassuring to those of us that are striving to go the natural route but occasionally run into roadblocks.
