Book Reviews of Active Birth : The New Approach to Giving Birth Naturally, Revised Edition
Book Review: Life saver during pregancy as well as during labor
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this book during the 2nd half of a 2nd pregnancy to prepare for labor. The exercise routine the author lays out really helped me alleviate a lot of the aches and discomfort that come along with pregnancy. And they also helped me manage through labor and delivery without drugs. I had tried Mind over Labor during my first pregnancy but am terrible at imagery-type meditation and could not cope through real contractions. The physical, motion-based responses to contractions laid out here were unbelievably effective for me.
Even if you're planning to manage your pain with drugs, this book is worth it just for the prenatal exercises. It's easy to read, interesting, and not too preachy.
