About this ebook
From Scribd: About the Book
A midwife with over 30 years of experience, Ina May Gaskin teaches expecting mothers how they can manage the pain of childbirth. The book is a summary of her original handy guide for new parents, in which Gaskin goes to great lengths to answer every question they may have concerning childbirth.
A lot of women believe that birth is necessarily painful. But Gaskin believes that, by following the technique she outlines, women can have easy and painless deliveries without medication. Gaskin discusses ways to harness the body's innate capabilities, including massage and breath work. Although all of the techniques of this book are from the original expansive work of Ina May Gaskin, Abbey Beathan tries her best to summarize the work in a way that mothers of today can easily read and understand.
Note: This summary is completely written by Abbey Beathan, and merely a summary of the original author's work.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First time in a long time I anticipated doing my daily Bible study. It was never a chore but this book is such easy reading; with comments, summary and reflection for what you read. It leaves you with something to contemplate on for the day. I highly recommend this book.

This is such an amusing read! i am not even pregnant/ expecting , i dont know why i picked this one but there is such an abundance of information with natural labor and importance of father's support that modern delivery keeps ignoring... this is so cool. my brain shall retain. shall retain. shall retain! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book has summarised literally all the stages of giving birth and I got to understand how natural process of giving birth is the best and the most safest. It has been an educative book and i enjoyed reading it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very attractive, motivational views has been described about child's birth
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As someone who wants a natural birth, her suggestions are fantastic and I look forward to using some of them. This book was inspiring and incredibly affirming. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a natural birth, in a hospital or anywhere else.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think this is a great book for anyone trying to learn more about the child birthing process, anyone who is nervous or doubting their ability to do it, or anyone who just wants to know their options in care.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5For those who do not know yet, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth original book is a really thick book. For those who are patient and love to read long books, that's great. For those who are reading this kind of pregnancy books for your wife or yourself or the people around you, I'd highly recommend a short book like this. Get both if need to... the original one and the summary version. Great writing and each chapter is written very clearly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a must-read for pregnant woman everywhere. I highly recommend it also for doulas in training, fathers-to-be, and anyone interested in the safe care of mothers and infants. Very inspiring!
