ok scratch the previous format, i just want to jabber:
i hated this book. really, i hated it. i don't think anyone should read it, though *perhaps* everyone should have access to it for when they want to verify their worst fears or get a few facts on this procedure or that one. as a book to actually sit and read, it's terrible and does nothing but create fear and prepare you to experience all kinds of "symptoms" (as if pregnancy is an illness).
i think it was the first one i sat down with and already at that point i knew it was a waste of my time... for one thing, if you are not going the conventional prenatal care route, it is mostly irrelevant information.
(hmm i think i am in a confused mood--all i want to say is "it's stupid" and quit this post... weird...)
um. so. yeah. don't read it. it doesn't empower women AT ALL--it was written for perpetual "patients," those consumers of health care who keep the system running. anyone who thinks for herself either 1) already knows everything it has to say, or 2) can find the same information in better, more well-rounded sources.
