Getting Beyond the Birth Wars: In Search of A Good Birth
“Directly yet compassionately addresses the issues surrounding what constitute an unconstrained ‘good’ birth and the primary goals associated with it. . . . [Lyerly’s] comforting and informational guidebook will be useful for those seeking to explore the less-obvious components of parturition. Positive, sympathetic and diverse perspectives for past, present and future mothers-to-be.”
