After being inundated with advice about pregnancy, this is a refreshing way to weed through some of the more, uh, condescending sources of information. Angela Garbes is candid and funny while outlining her own experiences and relating them to the science behind pregnancy and birth. I appreciate that she also points out the HUGE gap in knowledge in women's health, particularly postnatal care, in the United States (which always incenses me and makes me feel empowered to seek out care that best benefits me).
