A good introduction (my first) to the Bradley Method of natural childbirth. However, this book must be taken with a grain of salt, as even though it has supposedly been revised and updated, much of the information and assumptions about hospital (and medicated) births are outdated and/or no longer relevant. If this was my first pregnancy, I would be scared of the big bad hospital as depicted in this book, but luckily I've been through this once before and did not find many of his complaints to be an issue at all while giving birth the first time.
That said, this book got me interested in the Bradley Method. It does not really teach the actual method, although it gives a general idea of breathing/relaxation techniques as well as some prenatal exercises, but I am now seeking out additional resources to fill in the gaps.
