This book too biased in my opinion, even for me who am planning a natural, non-medicated birth next month. It makes it sound like you or your baby will die if you chose to use medication during birth, I have witnessed several amazing and uncomplicated epidural assisted births, so I use it just if I want to look up something specific, not a cover to cover read. I feel like the combo of "Natural Hospital Birth" and "Active Birth" would be all that I needed to read to feel really excited, prepared and confident for my natural birth process. Also working on reading Ina May's book, as well as Birthing From Within, but i still think the other two would have been enough
