5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for any birth supporter.,
By Jackie M (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Birth Partner: A Complete Guide to Childbirth for Dads, Doulas, and Other Labor Companions (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: The Birth Partner: A Complete Guide to Childbirth for Dads, Doulas, and Other Labor Companions (Paperback)
Detailed advice for mum-to-be, dad-to-be and anyone else who might be there. Clear and simple enough for the layperson and detailed enough for the health care professional.
