BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS!

I recently accosted a pregnant women in Waterstones bookshop - I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help it! The books available were a disappointing array of main stream 'nice' books, not one evidence based or challenging. So here is my list of the TOP  books for pregnancy and beyond (not in any particular order):

• Expecting (Anna Mcgrail and Daphne Metland)
• Birth Your Way (Sheila Kitzinger)
• The New Pregnancy and Childbirth (Sheila Kitzinger)
• Ina May's Guide to Childbirth (Ina May Gaskin)
• Spiritual Midwifery (Ina May Gaskin)
• Home Birth (Nicky Wesson)
• The Conscious Parent (Shefali Tsabary) 
• Birthin from Within (Pam England)
• Stand and deliver (and other brillinant ways of giving birth) (Emma Mahony)
• What mothers do (espcially when it looks like nothing) (Naomi Stadlen)

Wouldn't it be a move forward if these were found in all major bookshops!
