I recently read the book 10,000 Babies: My Life in the Delivery Room. I was immediately intrigued by this book when I read the description. The author, Dr. Silvio Aladjem, M. D., has delivered over 10,000 babies in his 40+ years as an obstetrician.
I have always loved watching the shows on television about pregnancies and births, and I enjoy reading birth stories. 10,000 Babies is full of short stories from different pregnancies and deliveries. The stories focus on different aspects of pregnancy and delivery, and can range from funny to heartbreaking. One of my favorite stories was the woman who delivered twins with weeks in between the births! Also included in the book is history on obstetrics, differences with culture, and myths surrounding pregnancy. I was glad to see that Dr. Aladjem included a section commending the special people in the medical profession who take care of pregnant women, and I commend him for all the families he has helped.
I thoroughly enjoyed 10,000 Babies: My Life in the Delivery Room. I'm sure its not reading material everyone would enjoy due to the medical content, but if you like birth stories and shows like I do, you'll enjoy this book! 10,000 Babies is available at Amazon.
