Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin: This wasn't the most helpful book on natural childbirth, but it was certainly one of the most inspiring. It didn't give me lots of "how tos," but the first half, which is all women telling their own childbirth stories, was surprisingly encouraging. I thought it would be much less interesting and that I'd be more, well, grossed out than I was. The second half, which is more the practical info, I found to be a little alarmist about hospital births. And I found the claims of "orgasmic birth" to be a bit hard to believe. Overall, though, it's help to encourage me to give this natural birth thing a go.
