    About this audiobook

    In the tradition of Jessica Mitford’s The American Way of Death, an eye-opening work of investigative journalism that challenges our common wisdom about pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of a baby’s life, showing how the mother and child’s wellbeing are often undermined by corporate profit margins and the private interests of the medical community.

      Such a great eye opener to what is happening in the US regarding pregnancy and raising an infant. Would recommend this book to any soon-to-be mom.

      Fabulous book. This is evidence based. Its hard to acknowledge that what we've been doing hasn't been good but when you know better do better.
