This was a great book to understand laboring mums and what is needed to help, encourage, and comfort them. Whether a partner, doula, nurse or doctor this is a great book to read.Book Review: One of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be one of the most comprehensive in terms of its descriptions of labor and what a support person can do to help. In fact, my husband said that he would read one book that I gave him, and this was the one I chose. One of the features in the book that I really appreciated was a chart that clarifies exactly how you feel about using medications, so that your birth partner knows how much support to give you around this issue. It seems like this book will be really useful as a reference (we are due in two months). I highly recommend this book.Book Review: The ultimate companion to the delivery room

As a Dad that has read or browsed most all of the contemporary pregnancy books. This is undoubtably my favorite. It's simple, straight-forward, detailed, yet practical. Designed as a guide for doulas, partners, midwives, and all birthpartners this book is useful to experts and beginners alike. Not only is the information solid and thorough, the presentation is warm and confident. I have memorized the material and found it to be a profound help. Very easy to refer to in a pinch. Thanks Penny -- this is a classic.
