My doula gave me this book to read and I took an EBB childbirth class. I feel like, because I took the class, the book didn't give me a whole lot of extra material. Babies are Not Pizzas is really more of a memoir than a book about childbirth or parenting. I found it interesting and Dekker writes is a very accessible way that made it easy to read, but I didn't feel like it was exactly necessary for me. It did help affirm for me all the reasons that I want better prenatal and birth care that actually takes into account my desires and wants. Warning for some: there are a lot of accounts of medical trauma, obstetrical violence, and other things that might be hard for some readers to read.
