    About this ebook

    An authoritative guide to natural childbirth and postpartum parenting options from an MD who home-birthed her own four children.

    Sarah Buckley might be called a third-wave natural birth advocate. A doctor and a mother, she approaches the question of how a woman and baby might have the most fulfilling birth experience with respect for the wisdom of both medical science and the human body. Using current medical and epidemiological research plus women's experiences (including her own), she demonstrates that what she calls "undisturbed birth" is almost always healthier and safer than high-technology approaches to birth. Her wise counsel on issues like breastfeeding and sleeping during postpartum helps extend the gentle birth experience into a gentle parenting relationship.

      This book does not seem to know if it wants to be a well-researched book, or a spiritual guide.The list of references at the end of each chapter is long, and yet at times the author refers to colours surrounding the birth of her baby, and her baby choosing to release its cord.This holds true particularly for the first two sections of the book. The third (last) section of the book felt much easier to read..perhaps this reflects my own level of 'out-there-ness'. I really found this book to be ‘way out there’ even for a homebirthing-cosleeping-breastfeeding-clothnappying mother-to-be.
