No rating
It's hard to rate a book such as this.
It didn't have characters to be well developed, or a plot-line to consider...
Half of the book wasn't even written by the authors, since it contained personal testimonies from several women not attributed as authors.
Is the book helpful? Probably... I'll tell you after the event (if I remember).

So, overall, it was a positive experience to read this book. I'm less nervous about what my body can handle (my first labour gave me plenty of reasons to be nervous this time).
So, I guess, onwards with a little more personal power.
