Product Description
In an age where birth has often been overtaken by obstetrics, Dr Dick-Read's philosophy is still as fresh as it was when he originally wrote this book. He unpicks every possible root cause of western woman's fear and anxiety in pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding and does so with overwhelming heart and empathy. Essential reading for all mothers-to-be!
Reader ReviewsI read an earlier edition of Grantly Dick-Read's book and it was extremely enlightening for me. I had taken the Bradley Childbirth classes in preparation for the birth of my first baby and, unfortunately forgot everything I had been taught as soon as labor started. When I got pregnant with number 2, I decided to prepare a little better. Upon the suggestion of a friend, I read "Childbirth without Fear" and that, combined with hiring a doula and learning self hypnosis techniques (hypbirth.com) made for a very easy, quick (less than 6 hours from 1st contraction to delivery) labor. Get this book!!!
