The Whole Pregnancy Handbook: An Obstetrician's Guide to the Wise Use of Traditional and Holistic Medicine Before, During and after Pregnancy
Might be better subtitled "An Obstetrician Gutlessly Recommends a Bunch of Ineffective 'Alternative Medicines' that At Least Won't Hurt You." Or "In Which I Recommend Red Raspberry Leaf Tea for Everything Because It Is Totally Inert."
On the other hand, I was happy to see that the doctor-author recommends being very flexible about a birth "plan" and finding a real healthcare provider and then taking his/her advice.
Otherwise, it was definitely not useful to me at all. I was hoping to find some real information (medical studies, for example) about some of the "alternative" options (yoga, chiropractic, various herbs, acupuncture/pressure, diet, hypnosis for childbirth, etc.), and there was none of that. Just a lot of information about what those things are purported to do with some guidelines on what is proven to be dangerous.
