Starred review from April 15, 1997
After practicing obstetrics for many years and giving birth to four children, Harvard Medical graduate Hutcherson recognized the need for a childbirth resource that articulated the social concerns of African American women. Although this clearly written self-help guide contains advice on conception, pregnancy, and delivery that can be found in other resources, its unique features make it a stand-out in birthing literature. Hutcherson offers expectant mothers everything from essential information about diseases like sickle cell anemia and lupus to historical highlights that provide a positive birth image and outlook for black women. Aiming "to combat the high incidence of small, sick, and premature black babies," Hucherson has produced a first-of-its-kind childbirth reference tool that meets the needs of a population traditionally denied equal access to prenatal care. An excellent companion to The Black Women's Health Book (LJ 4/15/90); highly recommended.
