I checked this book out a few weeks ago because my best friend asked me to be in the delivery room with her and her husband when she gave birth- she wanted a female presence she knew for additional support. The knowledge I gained from this book was vast and I liked the way it was written- it gave a lot of information about labor and delivery and took all the scary out of the process. I got to put my knowledge to use yesterday when William was born! I give this book an A+ because I remained calm when she was yelling that she wanted to push and her husband had left the hospital to get something to eat! Luckily, he got back just in time and we were able to support her through the painful process (I’m now rethinking childbirth)!
