 Rating:  - Best of all the pregnancy books I read!I read a lot of pregnancy books, and this was the best of the bunch. Penny goes over coping mechanisms for unmedicated labor, medication options, possible complications and interventions, all in incredible detail.

I found it very helpful in creating a birthing plan and knowing all the options I had.
