Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
by Ina May Gaskin

"Another study compared perceptions of labor pain between two different groups of U.S. women: those who gave birth in the hospital and those who gave birth at home. The hospital group rated childbirth pain significantly higher than did the home-birth group."

"Good research shows that when the midwifery model of care is applied, between eighty-five and ninety-five percent of healthy women will safely give birth without surgery or instruments such as forceps and vacuum extractors."

HI Sarah, Sorry I have taken so long to respond to your comment about my wedding dress. It was from 2b Bridal, but I looked on the website and i could not find it. Maybe it is no longer avilable. Have a wonderful day!
