I am the mother of six children, a doula and worked with an OBGYN for many years. My daughters and daughter-in-laws are all having babies now. I was thrilled to review this book and found it to be a wonderful guide for preparing for pregnancy all the way through to caring for the baby. It did not cover home births which was a bit disappointing. All in all, I would recommend this book as a really good start to cover all the basics of child birthing. ( )
