that when it comes to the ideal birth method, there's really only one best expert: YOU. The Birth That's Right For You helps you custom-tailor your birth experience
by having you reflect on: * The way you imagine giving birth
* How you cope with pain
* What you need to feel safe and secure Based on your answers, you will be able to create an approach that will meet
your needs whether you get the epidural, chant your way to delivery in a birthing pool,
take a wait-and-see approach, or any combination in between. In The Birth That's Right For You, you will learn how to: * Match yourself up to the coping strategies that best fit you
* Take a realistic look at your expectations and let go of everyone else's
* Assemble a labor and delivery team that supports what you want for yourself

 Not Preachy, Just Supportive December 29, 2007

The recurring message in the book is that YOU are the one who is best able to make birthing choices for yourself. I like that the authors don't push one method over another. We pregnant women hear so many stories about delivery. This book reminds you that during labor, you will still be you--only in a more heightened state--so go with options that fit the type of person you (already) are when creating your birth plan. Good over-view of options and choices to think about ahead of time.

Empowered with The Birth That's Right for Me. September 8, 2006

This was a really great book although it was not what I expected exactly. I was expecting some sort of quiz that would send me in the direction of a specific method based on my personality. That didn't happen. But it did explain, it great detail, what goes down during labor, birth, c-section if you have to have one, and post-partum. Not a one size fits all explanation, but a variety of things that happen to different women kind of explanation. During these essays, it did go through various coping strategies based on what one might do if that had a dental abscess and had to wait for an appointment or something like that. The big question, how do you cope with fear, anxiety, pain in your every day life? Here's a list of ways that might correspond to that during the birth process. I feel like I know a lot more about what to expect, what things might feel like, and the wide variety of alternate endings that can go down. I feel better just knowing something about that stuff. And I feel somewhat empowered knowing what I can ask for if I want/need it too. This book really drove home getting a support system in place and that I do not have to conform to any specific method, which I really appreciate a lot. I would highly recommend this book to any first time mother who wants to know what she is in for and is not sure she and any specific method are a match. It will help you build a great foundation for your birthing plan.

A MUST-read! This book is a personalized guide to pregnancy and birth for every new mommy. Being pregnant for the first time is an awesome but overwhelming experience. This book helps pregnant women better understand all of the physical and emotional changes that are happening to them and is reassuring and comforting in that it guides you to do what's right for you. My pregnant world forever changed upon meeting Lisa Gould Rubin. Her guidance and support led to an incredible birth experience.

My husband and I were honored to have Lisa Gould Rubin assist with the birth of our daughter. The same spirit she brought to our lives is within these pages. This book is a must-read for all expecting mothers to empower them with the information to make choices that are right for them and their family.
