help please... name of book of birth stories from "the Farm"

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi:

towards the end of my pregnancies, i loved reading the encouraging birth stories by the midwife who helped found the "farm" in TN. I usually did my reading with my OB's copy, in her waiting room, as she always ran very very late. So I don't actually have a copy but would like to recommend it to a friend, an OB nurse who would like to deliver naturally (to the amazement of her entire dept. ).
Can someone please reply with the title?
TIA!!

Ina May Gaskin is the MW and she wrote 2 books that I know of w/ birth stories.

Spiritual Midwifery was the 1st and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth has birth stories in it also.

Ina May's Guide to Childbirth

Orgasmic Birth by Elizabeth Davis & Debra Pascali-Bonaro also has fantastic stories in the second half of the book.

Has anyone ever read "Hey Beatnik! This is The Farm Book!"? I saw a copy of it once when i was about 14, flipped through, thought it was weird but interesting and then put it back on the (charity shop) shelf. Fast forward, i read Spiritual Midwifery at 19 and then got Ina May's Guide to Childbirth when pregnant in 2005, and i'm kicking myself for not spending the 75p they wanted for Hey Beatnik!
