Praise for the first edition of Real Birth:

"An excellent complement to typical books on pregnancy and birth ... these narratives fill a gap for those seeking a realistic description of the birthing process from the mother's view. Highly recommended."?— Library Journal

"Each woman speaks from her heart, with a mental clarity that painstakingly preserves the memory of this incredible task. Each chapter provides insight into the various concerns, fears and options to giving birth today. … Real Birth proves to be a helpful resource for anyone interested or about to become involved with the birth experience."?— Foreword Reviews??
