Okay here goes my list!
Pregnancy Childbirth and the Newborn By Penny Simkin and others
I like this book instead of What to Expect When You Are Expecting and Pregnancy Week by Week.
The Pregnancy Book, The Birth Book and The Baby Book-all by Dr. Williams Sears and Martha Sears, RN. They have lots of other books that are great.
The Thinking Woman's Guide to A Better Birth: by Henci Goer
Fabulous! A must read.
Born In the USA by Marsden Wagner
Pushed by Jennifer Block
Anything by Shelia Kitzinger and Ina May Gaskin
That should get you started. I bet you could find some at the library.
If you can get your hands on a copy of the DVD Orgasmic Birth, watch it!!! I don't love the title because I think it is a bit misleading considering very few of the laboring mothers experience an orgasm in the movie, but the message of the movie is RIGHT ON. Lots of positive births. I think a better title would have Euphoric Birth. But what's in a name, right?
