Book Reviews of The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy
Book Review: Not a serious book for those who are pregnant
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is horrific and really not helpful to any woman is a serious thinker. Read anything by Ina Mae Gaskin or Dr. Marsden Wagner. This woman's whole philosophy is "Be a good pregnant woman and do what your doctor tells you." She also encourages C-Sections!!! Smart women deserve better and smart women will do the research and know that epidurals, though relatively safe in and of themselves, are part of the cascade of events that lead to unnecessary surgery. Women deserve better. Don't read it.Book Review: Not for anyone who believes a beautiful childbirth is possible.
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this book very offensive as it is extremely negative about natural childbirth and suggests that anyone who wants to experience an unmedicated childbirth must be nuts. There are also very negative comments about home birth as well. This book is not recommended for anyone who believes that pregnancy and childbirth are a normal, natural part of a woman's physiology. We are build to do this, it is beautiful and without fear, the pain is quite manageable.Book Review: The Guide to Things your no one should tell you
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never felt the urge to write a negative review for a book until this book was passed along to me yesterday. My girlfriend and I sat around for an entire hour laughing at the contents of this book. This is the most condescending book on pregnancy that I've seen. I feel sorry for any woman who reads this book and takes it seriously.Book Review: misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
this book had the facts of how horrible it can be to be pregnant, but most of these are rare and only create a sense of fear in the woman reading the book. i strongly urge you not to buy this book... find a midwife or doula in your area that will help discuss your fears instead at a free consult appointment.
