Book: The Tentative Pregnancy

[mrskennedy]

Has anyone read The Tentative Pregnancy? (Don't have the author handy...) If you've read it, I'm curious to know how it relates to UC, or if it does at all. I'm considering reading it, but won't if it has little to offer/apply in the way of UC.

I have, and no, IIRC, it had no bearing on UC at all. It had a small amount of relevance to UP, since it discussed the psychological ramifications of orienting pregnancies around medical testing and medical "validation." Which is one reason to UP, I suppose, to avoid that whole quagmire. Bot as far as UC, nope. No discussion of normal birth physiology or of medical birth practices. Though I read it almost 10 years ago so my recollection is fading a bit.
