Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth (Revised)

Book Review: An Amazing Resource!
Summary: 4 Stars

I rated this book 4/5 stars because I find (although not often!!) that some of the information is outdated or incorrect. Overall though I absolutely love this book. I have turned to it multiple times throughout my current pregnancy, AND I have used it as a resource for many of my midwifery classes.
The language is simple and clear and there are also lots of pictures and illustrations throughout. I love the homebirth and waterbirth photos!
