Meh submitted by bubbah4eva on July 21, 2019, 1:34pm This book has good information in some places but it’s presented bizarrely. The index is terrible so if you come across that information, good luck finding it again. The typesetting is super small and the pages are cramped. Overall the logistics of the book fail.

In addition, the book is anti-medical and promotes the idea that c-sections are always bad and a consequence of epidurals. That may be your cup of tea but I prefer scientific information, not ideological.
