At the risk of being a groupie, I just have to mention how excited I am by Cynthia Gabriel's book Natural Hospital Birth, The Best of Both Worlds.
In America, we are so unindated with compromise and moderation. We have business class, crossover SUVs, and 2% milk, but when it comes to birth we have been black and white for a long time, Cynthia's book, however, is an anthem to the 50 Shades of Grey natural hospital birth allows us.
I'm elated that this middle of the road option is also being applied to the birthing room. I mean, where would America be without the middle class? Women no longer have to choose between the two extremes of home birth or overly defensive hospital birth, armed only with a birth plan and a semi-supportive, annoyed practioner. We are seeing all types of women, providers, and births in the hosptial setting. It's darn well about time!
