More!.......2007-02-27

I've read a lot of pregnancy and birth books. This one is the best at presenting the joys of natural birth without focusing on the evils of birthing in a hospital. It's does discuss at length why NOT to have a hospital birth, but the overall tone of the book is pleasant and encouraging. It's nice to know that all promoters of homebirth haven't fallen off the deep end.

Empowering!.......2001-11-25

When I was pregnant with our 4th child, I became very fearful of what my labor would be like. My third delivery was hard. My son was posterior and my back ached terribly throughout. When my husband and I took a refresher course of our childbirth class, I knew I needed some extra encouragement. My midwife recommended Homebirth, by Sheila Kitzinger. I DEVOURED it!!! She makes childbirth an empowering life challenge. Whether you have your baby at home or not, the advise and words of encouragement are a great booster to your resolve to have a natural, gentle birth! Birthing is both physical and mental, and she addresses both aspects beautifully. Had I not read her book, I would have begun my fourth labor with fear and dread which would have made it even harder! But because I was confident and relaxed, it was an incredible birth with little pain physically, and no doubt or fear mentally.

Amazing Book!.......2001-02-08

This book offers several stories of homebirth, their joys and triumphs. The pictures are breathtaking, and the author does an impressive job in her descrpitions of the events. Highly recommended for anyone considering homebirth, or simply interested in the beautiful process of childbirth.

Homebirth and you.......2000-03-14

This book is simple yet gets to the point of the issue. Homebirth is a pleasant alternative, especially to those traumatized by previous hospital births. The book talks about involving the whole family and has some wonderful pictures.

Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love

ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

ASIN: 0966106601

Product Description

This book is a presentation of unassisted homebirth (childbirth without an obstetrician or midwife) as it relates to psychological growth and development of the couple, the woman and the man. It addresses why people choose to give birth unassisted, why couples should consider unassisted homebirth and why so many are against unassisted homebirth. It shows how planned unassisted birth is safer than in the hospital and almost always joyful.

The book provides a comparison of traditional hospital birth to unassisted homebirth, how couples are brought closer together because of unassisted birth and the profound impact this type of birthing has on fathers.

Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love combines research, theory and personal experience. It has several unassisted birth stories after 1990 including: babies born at 36 and 43 weeks gestation, waterbirth, Rh- mother, breech twins, unassisted birth after cesarean (U-BAC), first baby a Do-it-Yourself birth, fourth generation baby born in the same house. The Stories include situations with baby born in amniotic sac, with meconium, and with the cord wrapped tightly around baby s neck. Babies were born to parents ranging from age 21 to 44.

It includes chapters on preparing for an unassisted homebirth, self-actualization, how childbirth is a feminist issue, major deterrents to unassisted homebirth, unassisted birth gone awry (death and disillusion), how to recover/heal from a traumatic birth, home-based living (homebirth, homeschool, working from home), midwives role in the birth process, advocacy.

It presents new ideas such as The Birth Pyramid and the power of silence at birth. Although this book presents unassisted birth as a safe and joyous way to give birth, any pregnant couple, whether they are considering an unassisted homebirth or not, would benefit from the comprehensive childbirth information as a way to improve confidence, knowledge and comfort for a more satisfying birth.

Book to be reprinted and offered by November 1, 2007.......2007-08-14

Friends and moms-to-be: Due to several requests from customers and the capitalist nature of what has occured since my book went out of print in 2006, I have decided to reprint UNASSISTED HOMEBIRTH: AN ACT OF LOVE for a third time. Check back here in November and also feel free to visit my website at unassistedhomebirth dot com. You may also be interested to know that I've created the first inspirational childbirth CD titled YOUR BODY, YOUR BIRTH: SECRETS FOR A SATISFYING AND SUCCESSFUL BIRTH.

Good...but..........2005-08-23

I have mixed feelings about this book. It is really one lady's perspective. I bought it because I too had problems finding someone to attend my home birth. I am severely chemically sensitive and so giving birth in a hospital is actually more likely to cause me life threatening complications than a birth at home. I just don't want to take the risk. So as my husband and I realized that we might have to do this ourselves I ordered this book and I'm glad I did. We have completely come around to the idea that even if there was a good practitioner (doctor or midwife) available we would still want an unattended birth and this book might help you understand why we might come to this conclusion. It is worth reading if you are thinking about it.

This author prevents few verifiable facts, so if that is what you seek you won't find much here. BUT what I found most valuable about this book is the non-tangable. The author strikes to the heart of the matter and brings up some points that I would not have thought about as benefits to having a private husband and wife only birth. I don't agree with all her points or her reasons behind them, but the book was still enjoyable. My husband and I both read this book and discussed it and found that we very much agreed with certain of her perspectives on how this experience would enhance our relationship.

If you are considering an unattended birth this is a great book to read - especially the testimonies (and I don't typically like testimonies in books like this). She does belabor her predudices, so just be prepared to skim those sections that you disagree with.

If you are already convinced you want an unattended and are looking for detailed information on how to recognize problems and what to do if they develop or what supplies to have on hand this isn't the book you are looking for, though it might be enjoyable to you for other reasons. The only thing I found for this is the two volume set "Holistic Midwifery" by Anne Frye. They are huge and expensive, but invaluable and, I think, understandable to the lay person.

I expected more from the book...........2005-08-17

My DH and I both read the book and found it to be more entertainment reading than what we had hoped.

This book is definately for the couples who are unsure of what type of birth you want.

We are absolutly sure that we are going to UC and we did not feel this book was written for those of us who 100% know. We are happy this book was written for those who are sitting on the fence. It gives lots of inspirational stories of successful and happy UCs.

We were looking for more of a "getting ready for your UC" type of book... and this is not it. We have found more supportive info online that have helped us much more.

I liked the book and enjoyed reading it..........2003-03-29

I have a lot of the same views. Childbirth is a natural function of women's bodies, not a crisis situation to be treated with interventions. I have seen the same situation in my state regarding midwives. I have had the same bad experiences with hospitals and doctors who do not respect women's rights in childbirth. My unassisted homebirth was by far one of the most wonderful things I have ever experienced. It was so different than my hospital births, so much more peaceful. It drew my husband I closer to each other and the Lord and we were able to bond instantly with our child. I did give myself excellent prenatal care before embarking on this journey and had one ultrasound to ensure everything was looking good. This was my 4th birth and lasted only 20 minutes. What a remarkable difference when compared to my hospital births!

The only thing I did not like about the book was that it did not give more information on how to handle the more common problems at birth such as the cord around the neck, meconium, etc. For that, I recommend Spiritual Midwifery and internet research.

I really tried to like this book but..........2002-11-16

This author had a very strong bias due to living in a state without a strong midwife system. All the points she made against midwifes (based on anecdotal evidence) were never backed up like most of the points in her book. A lot of her points all stem from the fact that there were only 3 available midwives for her birth (one who was to be out of town during her due date, one who was too far away, and one who she had a personality conflict with.) The remainder of her anecdotes focused on ONE midwife who had never attended a birth where the mother was in a particular position.

Book Description

This book challanges America's traditional hospital based birth system, the system which has placed the United States at the bottom of the list of industrialized nations with regard to healthy babies and healthy mothers. Dr. Eisenstein explains that birth, for the majority of women, may even be safer without the routine hospital procedures: electronic fetal monitoring, episitomy, iv's, epidurals, etc.

Homefirst is Awesome!!.......2006-09-18

I haven't actually read this book, but I had a home birth through Doctor Eisenstein's "Homefirst". It was totally awesome! Yes there is medical equipment there just in case, but unlike how some of the other reviewer assume, it is nothing like the hospital. I never even saw any of the instruments except for the battery powered doppler,the scale that is used to weigh the baby, and the IV that I had to have (see below). You take all of it home in a sealed box (couldn't weigh more than 10 lbs) a month before your due date. That's it.

Yes, midwives are a good choice also, but personally, I felt more comfortable knowing that just in case, there was a doctor there. I had to be on IV antibiotics during the birth because I tested positive for Group Strep B bacteria (1 in 5 women do). I'm not sure if I could have even done a homebirth with a midwife because of that.

Anyway, don't knock physician attended home births unless you know what you are talking about.

Glad this book exists.......2006-09-01

I'm glad there is one more book that states with no uncertainty that homebirth is a safe and effective option for women, but I don't like some of the ways Eisenstein states his involvement. For example, I think the mother is the only one who delivers a baby -- everyone else just attends, no matter their role in doing so. I suppose that's why I chose a midwife to deliver at home rather than a doctor. Despite my criticism, however, this book may be good for women interested in homebirth to share with others in their lives so they can be convinced it's right.

Love Dr Eisestein!.......2005-01-29

I was a patient of the Home First practice in 2000. Dr Eisenstein did not attend my birth (another equally wonderful Doctor from the practice, as well as a midwife and a nurse attended me), but I did have many conversations with him on the telephone that made a lasting impression on me of what a wonderful, caring man he is!

My homebirth experience was WONDERFUL! I had my first baby in the hospital and it was a really traumatic experience for both myself and my daughter filled with unnecessary interventions. My home birth was safe, calm and perfect! :) Though they had some equipment in case of an emergency, I was not hooked up to an IV or any monitors and was allowed to do as I wished during labor - a really big change from my hospital experience where I was "told" what I could and could not do.

I have since had one more wonderful home birth with my 3rd child and am now in my 33rd week of pregnancy with my 4th child who will also be born at home. I do not live in the Chicago area any longer, so will be delivered by midwives who have given me care that is definately comparable to my home first experience! Once you've had a homebirth, it really is almost impossible to even consider doing it any other way.

A great read and a wonderful medical practice!

Perhaps I am biased...........2005-01-08

I myself was delivered at home by Dr. Meyer Eisenstein back in 1981. He was also at the homebirth of my older brother in 1977. There was no question in my mind that I wanted to have my second child at home (my first was born a month premature so homebirth was not an option) using the services of Homefirst (Dr. Eisenstein's homebirth practice). Yes, they do bring a lot of medical equipment JUST IN CASE it is needed. I wanted a homebirth because I wanted to have a natural birth in the comfort of my own home surrounded by my loved ones and have no medical interventions. This is exactly what I got. It was the best experience of my life and I felt safe knowing that *IF* something went wrong the Dr. had the necesary equipment on hand. (There is a detailed list in the book as to exactly what the Dr. will bring). I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone interested in homebirth.

Homebirth Advantage.......2003-11-17

This book is great. It does exactly what it is intended to do, give the history of PHYSICIAN attended homebirth. As for the comment that they bring the hospital to you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with coming to a birth prepared. Would you rather have your provider say later, "I'm so sorry, I wish we had brought..." or "Thank God we brought..." It is not as if they routinely use that equipment but rather have it if they need it.
