"An incisive book, it should be on every obstetrician's reading
list."-"Mothering",
"It is nothing short of courageous for a perinatologist to reveal
that the supposed benefits of prenatal care as it's currently being
delivered are unsubstantiated in medical research. Anyone who reads
this book will discover the simple truth that it is women
themselves, rather than their physicians or midwives, who have the
power to influence their baby's well-being. Dr. Strong makes it
abundantly clear there is cause to redesign the prenatal care
delivery system in this country."-Lylaine Gavette, Director of
Bethany Women's Healthcare and Birth Center and member of the Board
of Directors of the National Association of Childbearing
Centers
"Offers a careful regimen for change and ready-to-use advice for
pregnant women and their doctors."-"Publishers Weekly",
"Over the last 20 years, the majority of U.S. women have entered
prenatal care early, yet our infant mortality and preterm rates
have been lagging further and further behind other developed
nations. It's past time to admit that something's very wrong with
this picture and it's our children and families who are suffering.
Tom Strong has the courage to question whether the problem might be
with the prenatal care system itself and challenges the medical
establishment and all of us to face and address this profound
perinatal crisis in the America."-Dr. Greg R. Alexander, Professor
and Chair, Department of Maternal and Child Health, School of
Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham
"What makes this book important is its comprehensiveness, its
general readability, and the fact that it has been written by a
practicing obstetrician rather than a health services researcher or
an academic obstetrician"-"The New England Journal of Medicine",
