    This was immensely helpful in learning about child birth and becoming more informed about birthing techniques. Written by the modern re-pioneer of midwifery, Ina May, brings together Maternal intuition and obstetric knowledge to re-establish midwifery. If you are interested in having a baby with less pain and more love read this book.
