Book Reviews of We Are All Water Babies

Book Review: Beautiful book
Summary: 5 Stars

What a beautiful book. Visually, it was amazing. The book is larger than most, so it gives a great opportunity to really enjoy and appreciate the photography. My favorite pictures were the ones which captured the babies being born. The photos are truly amazing.

Odent is a romantic in the way that he speaks, I don't know if it is because he is French or what, but I think that he would be able to sell me anything, he is so convincing and beautiful in the way that he speaks.

At first I was a little dismayed that he talked about swimming lessons and the elderly as well, I wanted a book only about water birth but I was pleasantly surprised as I got into it and learned more about water and its symbols and its impact on a great variety of people. I think he did a great job linking them all.

The only thing that I didn't particularly like is his obvious preference for the evolution theory. Throughout the book though he talks about us needing better understanding of sacred texts, myths and legends but he can only apply that so far. Perhaps it is the scientist in him but I wish he could see further than just evolution as to how we got here. Maybe the same thing that made birth beautiful and amazing did the same for all humanity. I certainly believe that!

Summary of We Are All Water Babies

An examination of the role of water in pregnancy, labour and the neonatal period, which covers water-based exercise during pregnancy, water birth and swimming for babies.
Jessica Johnson and Michael Odent have created a fascinating exploration of our links with water from birth to death. Johnson has captured remarkable images of underwater births, pregnant women swimming with dolphins, and infants and babies swimming underwater--eyes open, breath held, delighted expressions on their faces. Odent's accompanying text is explanatory and he brings an interesting, off-beat approach to subjects such as birthing in a female environment, the role of water in sexuality, and whether or not humans were once sea mammals. Jessica Johnson's beautiful photographs, though, are what will bring you back to this book again and again. We Are All Water Babies is a wholly evocative and engaging book.
