Harvard Common Press,U.S. The Birth Partner, 4th Edition, Completely Revised and Updated: A Complete Guide to Childbirth for Dads, Doulas, and Other Labor Companions

My husband has really been enjoying this book. Tons of useful information!

I was asked to be my best friend’s birth partner. I haven’t had kids and I wanted to be as supportive and helpful to her as possible. I searched high and low for a good resource and I am so glad I chose this one. I read all of it up to the last section (I didn’t want to freak myself or her out and I figure a doctor would be best to consult in an emergency situation- I sure didn’t go to med school). I kept the book with me into her labor and it made me much more comfortable during the process and most importantly made me much more helpful to her. I was even helping her understand what was going on during her pregnancy, labor and prelabor from information in this book. I felt very prepared. I highly recommend.

My husband and I read this book together. It taught u. Not only the book explains things to prepare but also taught my husband how to emotionally prepare and be there for me after the baby born. Highly recommended to all parents to be.

Excellent book, no nonsense, to the point and complete. It works both for general reading and as a reference guide for labour. If you want to prepare for labour, this is the only book you'll need. (Mind you, it does not deal with all of pregnancy, but rather focuses on labour (pre-, during, post-).
