Reading up

[Daisymae6]

I just finished reading 'Gentle Birth Choices' by Barbara Harper and i wanted to share what a great book it was (so great that it only took me 4 days to read it)  i reccomend it to anyone who is having an out of hospital birth. I am going to pick p my held copy of 'Birthing from within' today at my local library.

Being that this is my fourth pregnancy but my first unmedicated out of hospital birth i find myself thirsty for any amount of knowledge that i can regarding birth and the more that i learn the more excited i get about the whole prcess. I am amazingly unafraid at this point and look forward to the entire experience of laboring and birthing in a spiritual and physical way that i now realize hat i missed out on with my previous births.

anyway...i just wanted to share... :)  hope that everyone is having a great day today, even though it is monday. :)

I agree, Birthing From Within is a great book. I read it all in one day because I just couldn't put it down lol.  Next on my list of must reads is Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin but I haven't bought it yet, it's a goal for sometime in the next 2 weeks hehe.

I've got quite a few books on hold at my library. i search online thru their catalogs and then put in on hold at the closest branch so that when it is available they e-mail me that i can pick it up.
