And for the record, regarding the review which said "seems to be among the very rare women who are able to give birth without the aid of forceps or an episiotomy." This is ENTIRELY untrue. Many, many, many women give birth without the aid of forceps or an episiotomy. The reason that they are so often used in this country is that the medical profession rushes the labor process, and doesn't allow a woman's body to do what it needs to do, which negates the need for such medical interventions. Watch Birth Day (or call a doula and ask) if you'd like more information. :)
