Misconceptions

[Jo & Dean Bainbridge]

Yes, I have read the book and found it quite interesting and reminisant to my experience.  I found it interesting also that when Medscape did a review on the book, the anger and mistrust was dismissed because Naomi must not have been mentally fit.  They made some comment about her not being able to give a true account of  birth and backed that by saying 'she didn't even acknowledge her child as a person until months later'.  What they didn't get was the lack of opportunity to bond with baby after having cs can cause you to be distant and detached to the child!  If she was displaying a slanted view on the birth due to emotional distress, then it was because of the birth and the trauma associated with it! Overall there was some aspects that I did not agree with but she pegs the "what to Expect when you're expecting" as the trash that it is!
