If someone is having a complicated pregnancy, this would be a good book to read. For the vast majority of women who have normal, healthy pregnancies and (could have) normal non-medical births, this book isn't applicable.
While this book has useful information, it addresses a medicalized pregnancy & birth, and includes some "old doctor's tales" which are not supported, and in some cases are even shown to be dangerous, by research.
As a companion to this volume, I recommend Henci Goer's book Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities (ISBN 0897894278). It will help you sort out the facts from the opinions.
