Home birth books?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Does anyone know of a good book(s) on home birthing for a 1st timer? I'm TTC baby #2 and am planning to do a HB with this one. I just would like to find a good inspirational book that has lots of info/facts and ways to prepare for it all. I don't want something with just stories of HBs, but more educational and more of a 'guidance' type of book. Any suggestions? Thanks a million!

I like Sheila Kitzinger and Ina May Gaskin. Both have books on homebirth. I really loved Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery though I totally don't agree with her version of spirituality, but part of it is stories and the other part is written for midwives with more technical information in it. If you don't want to read all the hippy/vibe stuff her newer book might be better.
