Refreshing - By: J. Barlow, 20 Feb 2007
I loved this book. Such a refreshing change to the other books on pregnancy that either create slapstick out of pregnancy, portraying alll mothers-to-be as neurotic hormone-fuelled headcases or else, harp on about the wonders of pregnancy where every niggling 'symptom' can be cured by taking a bath or 'putting your feet up'.

This book is an intelligent & intellectual probing of the changing identity of the pregnant woman & society's reaction to her & is not afraid to broach alll the glossed-over taboos such as the real pain of childbirth, the meaning of medical interventions & the alternative points of view that can be adopted when planning a birth.

The use of quotes from other women helps keep the pace & holds interest & Wolf's prose, on occasion, is quite, quite beautiful.
