Your Best Birth by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein

For those of you who have missed it, I had Little Monkey via c-section. I am very interested in how NOT to have another c-section the second time around. I had a TERRIBLE recovery. I've watched Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein's documentary "The Business of Being Born". I really, really want to have as little medical intervention as possible when having the next baby. That being said I am a realist and I am not against taking advice from my doctor, but I would like to be better prepared and not so blind to all my options. I am preparing myself mentally for the challenges that lie ahead with wanting a VBAC...and we haven't even created baby #2 yet! Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein have collaborated again for "Your Best Birth" book!

An excerpt from the book description:
What you are about to discover is that you have a choice, and you have the power to plan the kind of birth that's right for you-whether it is at a birth center, a hospital, or at home. In YOUR BEST BIRTH, internationally known advocates of informed choice Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein inspire women to take back the birth experience, with essential advice on:
· Positive and negative effects of epidurals, Pitocin, and other drugs and interventions
· Inducing vs. allowing your labor to progress naturally
· The truth behind our country's staggering C-section rate
· Assembling your birth team and creating your birth plan.
