Review: Exceptionally helpful... - This is a really fantastic resource for any person in a supportive role to a pregnant woman. The book goes into explicit but easily digestible detail of pregnancy, different types of labor, the types of support one can offer in labor, what you'll encounter in a home birth vs a hospital birth, basic baby care after the birth, and caring for the mother throughout the entire process. It also covers the different styles of birth from home births to hospitals and natural labor to different medications that can be used. The tone of the book is really open and doesn't push any agenda of which way is better over another. Instead, pros and cons are laid out for each, and the book is really educational so that the mother and partner can make informed decisions. It's very pro-mother and its theme is that the mother's choices are the right choices for her. As a co-mother, I found the book to be inclusive of different support partners, as well. The book also offers a ton of resources with a number of links to videos, references to websites and other books. It's really a must-have read.
Review: Excellent Resource - This was an excellent find. It gives practical, usable knowledge concerning what the mother is going through and ways you can help throughout the birthing process. It is an excellent resource for a significant other to review in an effort to know what to expect when you finally do go to the hospital. Most “new father” books are a complete waste of time. This was well organized and each section’s explanations were concise and digestible for people not otherwise trained in the subject. If your significant other is pregnant then you can pick this book with confidence.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guide for anyone assisting with birth
*by A***X on June 13, 2018*

Very easy to read, but still has so much important information. There are certain pages that are orange in color so that you can quickly find reference lists and info, instead of thumbing through. I love the way things are explained in simple terms, but still includes the science behind it. I bought it because my sister will be having her baby soon, but I found it very useful as I plan for future pregnancies.
