Reader Reviews
Whether you're fretting over your first time giving birth, or (like me) you're currently housing your 3rd baby, "Easing Labor Pain" is a must-have. Some women have contractions that they classify as "uncomfortable, but not unbearable", while others say it was the worst experience of their life. Good ol' Mother Nature always keeps us on our toes by offering no set pattern to tell one way or the other what degree of pain we'll suffer during labor. Instead of offering one particular method to use, "Easing Labor Pain" explains every option available; Lamaze or Bradley method? Epidural? What about "water birth"? Should I have induced labor? What drug-free options are there to relieve pain? Any question you can think of is covered in this 247-page gem, as well as the pros and cons of any particular procedure or method, allowing you to consider all options before heading into the delivery room. I'm a 3rd time birthing veteran (1 c-section, 1 VBAC), and yet I'm still thrilled to find a book that gives me info and ideas to consider regarding this subject.
