Book Title: "Spiritual Midwifery"
Author: Ina May Gaskin
Rating: 4/5
Ina May Gaskin is a legend in the world of midwives. Before midwifery came back into fashion (there was that pesky period where doctors took over and midwives were banned), Ina May kind of stumbled into midwifery and became a house-hold name as an expert in the field.
"Spiritual Midwifery" was her detailed stories about how she became a midwife as well as a variety of other births she was present for. It is powerful and was a great book to read while I was pregnant. It was all about how women can and do have natural births and how they are rock stars.
Keep in mind that it was written originally in the 1970's and most of the stories are wonderfully hippie and entertaining!
