Review :
It's good, but I worry about accuracy.
This book is pretty good. I have already found a question that has the wrong answer. The authors contradict themselves in the rationale which gives the correct answer. It kind of makes me question the accuracy of the book.

helpful and concise with good review questions but needs an editor with a more ...
Several typos and answer key mix ups (letter doesn't match description) found that was frustrating. Solid content, helpful and concise with good review questions but needs an editor with a more keen eye and attention to detail! Overall, I would still recommend.

It was just what I needed...
I thought this was so well done. Even with minor mistakes, able to present the information in an orderly fashion. I loved the explanations and concise presentation. Passed my CNM boards for the first time, and besides a robust education, I contribute this review book to my success. Going to sit for the NCC bards in a few months and will go back to this book for a refresher! Whenever their was a topic I was unsure of, I made sure to go back to my supporting text. Great self study resource, even down to the opening chapter. Well done!

Review :
birth as inspiring and ecstatic
When I was pregnant with my first baby, what I hungered for were real stories of birth, and especially positive stories, because these are so rare in our medicalised birth culture. My copy of Spiritual Midwifery is a dog-eared third edition, but it's been a great companion to me through the homebirths of my four babies, reassuring and reminding me how simple and ecstatic birth can be.

One reviewer could not believe that all the stories in Spiritual Midwifery could be so positive; I refer her to my article on Ecstatic Birth, which details the scientific evidence for birth ecstasy as our hormonal blueprint for labour, first published by Mothering and expanded for my book "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: a Doctor's Guide to Natural Birth and Early Parenting Choices". (Read the article on my website [...]) It's the plethora of interventions that make birth unpleasant- and not necessarily safer, as I document

Another reviewer response- Ina May recommends drinking...
Well... WANTED to like it more than I did...
I'm a student midwife and Ina May is revered in the 'birth world' I exist in. This book is- as the many reviews can attest to- almost a Bible of natural child birth and the regeneration of midwifery practice in the US. My understanding is that I am reading the most current version of this book...

The good: Getting to hear and see pictures of many families who went through their births on the Farm was great. I am very interested in birth stories and the internal mechanisms that women/families use to cope with birth. Also, I very much enjoyed finding several stories about loss and unexpected outcomes. It's wonderful to see these kinds of stories and occurances shared for others to use as a map through a similar circumstance. Sometimes, you've never met anyone who's had a loss. Knowing you're not the only one who's felt the way you do is an amazing comfort. Another positive of this book were the stories about the Amnish women who had Farm midwives attend their births. The...
Good news: vibes are real
I think I'm the first _man_ to review this book. In a way that's kind of sad, but hey, I don't mind going first, fellas. Besides, I've reviewed just about everything of Stephen Gaskin's I could find, and it's about time I reviewed Ina May's book.
And here in Ohio we've got a Mennonite midwife named Freida Miller who's doing time in prison. Why? Because she saved the life of a birthing mother by giving her prescription medication without a license. Worse, she's not even in prison for dispensing the meds; she's in prison because she refuses to reveal the name of the doctor who _gave_ her the meds in the first place. This displeases me and causes me to question the legal and pharmaceutical establishments even more than I already did, which is a lot. So consider this review my little blow for the revolution.
Ina May Gaskin wrote the book on midwifery -- four times, in fact, as the fourth edition of the book was published in 2002 and it gets longer every time. The new edition is...

Review :
It's certainly a classic!
It's certainly the best Midwifery book!
It's a must for any midwifery student.
I will recommend it to anyone who is interested in midwifery.

Good Book
There is a lot of text and not a lot of diagrams and pictures, but it is very easy to ready and follow along with.

good bk- Graphs not all included in Ebook format!
How much did I pay for this ebook??? I was willing to put the money out for this great reference book, and even willing to spend just as much for the ebook, so I didn't have to lug the heavy thing around.

***But*** I pay this huge amount for this great reference book, and every once in a while it won't pull up a chart, "due to copyright restrictions". Goodness. I didn't feel that I needed to read the reviews for this book because I had an older edition, and had high recommendations for this edition.

I'm not happy about having to go find the information myself.

I REALLY wish I could rate the medium separately from the actual content.

Content = 5 Stars!
