I really liked this book. I was planning on my first unmedicated birth and this book was phenomenal. It’s along the lines of an easy read informative text almost like a textbook. It is much easier to read and more interesting than a textbook though. It presents all aspects of pregnancy and birth from complications to normality. I found it to be comforting to get the information up front without a hidden agenda , just facts. It also addresses how a partner can be supportive and the things they may be going through. It covers pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. I think this book is better than a lot on the market.

About the author
Looks used or damaged. Otherwise, great!
The corner looks damaged. Binding looks creased and smudged. Hard to tell if it was the handling of the package or if it came like this. Other than this, it came on time and the pages inside the book look great.

It came 2hrs ago and I’m 104 pages deep into reading already
I’m from the U.K. and this book is mainly for US/ Canada but it’s informative overall. Definitely good for preparing for labor, the process of labor, having positive experience and memory of it, and then becoming a parent and looking after a newborn. Definitely good if you’re getting ready to plan for your birth plan and educate you on all the options and how to keep yourself mentally healthy. Some help in the late stages of pregnancy for when you struggle to sleep or have headaches etc. Not a week by week pregnancy book! It’s bigger focus is labor and after labor care for the baby!sese3003It came 2hrs ago and I’m 104 pages deep into reading already
