5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any birth supporter., Mar 6 2009

By	Jackie M (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I think it almost goes without saying. This book is far and away the most complete book about how to support a woman who is giving birth. I think this book is also an excellent read for any expectant mother. This book is not only an informative book to read through, but also an excellent quick reference guide when you're in the middle of labour and perhaps at a loss for what to do next to help the birthing mother. And of course, hiring a Doula is so helpful as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Pregnant Women and Their Partners, Aug 7 2009

By	Courtney Kelly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A friend recommended this book and when I first began reading it I instantly realized it was directed towards somebody supposed to help me during labor, not me specifically. I read it anyway, and to be honest this book will help! I am less afraid of labour now (this is my first pregnancy), and I am aware of lots of different methods to lower pain both natural and medicinal. This book also gave me an idea of the different tests that they conduct during labour, the importance (or non-importance) of the tests, alternatives, and what to expect with the outcomes. I would recommend this book for new mother!
