I just submitted Gentle Birth Choices by Barbara Harper.
Believe it or not, birth resulting from a normal pregnancy needn't take place 
in a hospital. Harper explains why birthing centers and home births, along
with other "gentle birth choices," are beneficial to both mother and baby. With 
a foreword by Robbie Davis Floyd, who wrote Birth as an American Rite of
Passage (1992), Gentle Birth Choices also features a history of how childbirth 
came to be so technological and blasts myths such as why fetal monitors
save babies (they don't, very often). Harper also discusses giving birth in 
water and explores the connection of mind and body during labor and birth.

I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have 
consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give
you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.
