Book Reviews of Preparation for Birth: The Complete Guide to the Lamaze Method

Book Review: Some interesting information, but we didn't need it
Summary: 3 Stars

The Lamaze method is very popular, with some good reasons-- it does help, in any physical endeavor, to focus one's breathing. Fine. But delivering naturally is going to cause the mother PAIN. Its just the way the process works, and you just have to go through it.

But some of us don't ever get to that point. Turns out I had to have a c-section. HAD TO. I'm not disappointed about it at all-- it was necessary for the safety of both the baby and myself. So having a baby does entail pain-- whether during actual labor or recovering from major abdominal surgery.

The absolute focus on delivering naturally is very wearing, and their attempts to 'support' the fact of c-sections seems very strained. If you know a section is in your future, give this one a miss.
