highly recommended

Informative book!

I researched for the longest time to find the best book for my husband -- a birth partner, I bought this for my husband to read. Apparently he said that there was most stuff that he already knew but thats just him. I just flipped through the pages myself and it seems like a decent book with the pictures to show someone who is not an expert at it. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to be the best birth partner to a loved one.

Loved this book

I loved this book I read it cover to cover in less than 3 days I found it very informative and the highlighted pages would be very usefull in the labor and delivery room. I look forward to being able to use it during the actual delivery

Recommended

I have 6-8 weeks left of my pregnancy and started to read this book and bookmark pages for my birth partner, my husband. Reading now, I think this book is very beneficial and will be very useful for us when the time comes to deliver our first baby. It was recommended by my midwife and I am glad I listened to her.

A great resource, like a childbirth class

This book is a great resource for anyone about to give birth or attending a birth.
It really goes into detail about "how it works", what can be done to help the mother, what might help alleviate birth discomfort, birth scenarios etc.. Very helpful, either as a supplemental reading for a birth class or as a very good substitute for one. I would definitely recommend you buy this book!

The childbirth Bible

I highly recommend reading this book before each birth. There are very helpful summary charts at the end of each chapter. I have tabs throughout the book for easy reference while in the hospital. So far, my labors have been quick, but if they were slower, this would be very valuable.
