Labor Nurse’s perspective. I am a labor nurse, pregnant with my first baby, and I am choosing the unpopular route of birthing center delivery with a certified nurse midwife. I am so excited about my choice and Ina May’s book helped give me “backup” to defend my choice to my colleagues. Ina May is right to fight for natural childbirth being the best choice for healthy mothers. Too many times I’ve seen women trapped in bed with monitors and IVs begging for epidurals because the Pitocin running through their IV is making the contractions unbearable with no means to cope in the hospital room. It would be wonderful if more women embraced Ina May’s philosophy on birth and chose more natural means instead of elective labor inductions.

Great book for new mamas!!!. Great book for mom who’s want to experience natural, unmedicated birth!!

MUST HAVE. If you are afraid of childbirth, like many of us are, this book is for you! TV shows and movies make birth seem like it is not manageable, but this book proves them wrong. There are so many useful tips for natural laboring and birthing. Even if you don’t plan on having a natural birth, these tools are so helpful to have. Not to mention that this book is also filled with so many beautiful, positive birth stories. Definitely do yourself a favor and get this amazing book!

I felt well prepared for birth. My husband and I both read the book in preparation for birthing our daughter at a birthing center. We were both so well informed about the process of birth that we moved through labor together. We felt confident and comfortable choosing pain reducing medication. And when i hemorrhaged and needed stitches we remained calm and trusting of the midwives.

A must read for all expecting parents!. This book was recommended to me by several friends, my prenatal chiropractor, and my midwife. I’m pregnant with my first child now and planning an unmedicated home-birth. Ina does a thorough job in describing the incredible task that women’s bodies were built for, and how the medical world can oftentimes get in the way of a natural process that’s been happening since the dawn of time. I highly recommend this book to all parents, ESPECIALLY first time moms who, like myself at the beginning of my pregnancy, knew absolutely nothing about labor or birth.

Amazingly Insightful. Every pregnant person should read this, such amazing insight! We are fortunate to have such a voice and advocate for reproductive health.

Ina may saves the day!!!. I love Ina May! Everything she is involved with seems to just be holistic and earthy and I can't get enough! I'm pregnant with my first child and after reading her books and watching her videos I've never been so confident or calm about birthing or about having a home birth for that matter.... This is a great book and I think it's invaluable for anyone who is pregnant, having a home birth, birthing naturally or just plain has questions or concerns about the birthing process and how natural the miracle of life really can and "should" be.

Informative. Love the optimism of natural birth. We were made to reproduce and as women we need to learn to embrace this fact. Ina May fights for our right to natural birth, giving us undeniable facts, and as a woman I appreciate her work, as well as for her to share her knowledge with us. A must read for ALL women.

Where's part 1?. This book was not advertised as abridged or as providing only part 2 of two parts. Please deliver part 1 or return my money.

Every woman everywhere should read this. Especially if you’re pregnant or planning to be. This book contains not only true stories of birth but scientific data backing up the natural way of birth being the best for mother and baby. A tradition that has long been forgotten in America. It is so empowering to read. So educational and so insightful and shows just how spiritual and amazing birth is. It’s a must read.

Stunning. This book was more than I expected. I felt is was more than informative, factual and honest. I really enjoyed reading the birth stories, I felt happy so much that I felt as though I was there. I am having my 4th baby and this has helped me feel stronger already. In the next couple years I will apply to study Midwifery. Hoping to have CNM behind my name and make changes so my children and their spouses will have more choices.

Great!. But missing part 1! Please fix this! If the sample download doesn't have part 1, then don't buy!! Get a physical version of it.

Seems like a waste of money. After reading the reviews that it doesn't even include part 1 I went online and bought it brand new from a popular website that starts with an A. I paid $1.99 + $3.99 for shipping. Be smart and do your research!

Ina May Guide to Childbirth. A must read for women who are striving to have a natural/intervention free child birth. So inspiring and powerful!

Part 1?. I just realized this I missing Part 1. Very disappointed!

Trust your body!. I adore this book. It is one of the most powerful empowering books on normal childbirth. I recommend every woman expecting to read this book. I did and had an amazing natural labor with my son 4 months ago. I had the traditional American birth 11 years ago with my daughter and the second time all natural was so wonderful. I healed quicker and had a very alert happy baby. Awesome!

The BEST book for expectant mothers!. Loved this book! I can't say how grateful I am to have read this book during my first pregnancy. Ina May opened my eyes to a number of practices and procedures (and risks) that I was completely unaware of, and I closed the book feeling empowered and far more capable of giving birth naturally and without intervention. While the book is obviously written to illustrate the midwifery model of care, it is written with understanding and respect for the obstetric model as well. Looking forward to reading her guide to breast feeding next!

Part 1 is missing. The whole of part 1 is only birth stories but that's half the book. If your going to charge only $3 under the price of the paperback, I'd rather just have the pb version. It's much more in depth and the amazing birth stories aren't cut out.

Life Changing. This book completely changed how I view childbirth. Childbirth is not complicated or scary. It is the most natural thing in the world.

Supportive and Empowering. Exactly what I needed to feel empowered and confident before entering into the marathon of childbirth. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to journey through a natural labour and delivery.

Best. Book. Ever. I started reading this book off the recommendation of a good friend at 4.5 months pregnant. I am now 9 months pregnant and re-reading everything. This has been my mainstay, my mind and heart changer on birth and my go to when others have convinced me that my body cannot handle the pain that is yet to come. When others have laughed at me, others who have had horrible birth experiences, I’ve turned to this book.
