I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone! I did Jujus birth classes before two labours and it gave me the information I needed to take control of the situation. The first time I ended up having an epidural reluctantly after a day of labour and no progress, but that day was really well managed in terms of pain as my husband and i used all the techniques. The great thing is that because of that I was really confident to have another shot at natural birth the second time around and after a seven hour labour I had my second daugher with no pain relief and feeling really confident and in control of what was happening to my body. I am giving the book to my sister in law. It's just so useful.
