      The Birth Partner is an accessible resource for spouses, partners, and others who accompany an expectant mother through labor and birth, and an essential guide for doulas, midwives, and educators.

      • Preparing for labor and knowing when it has begun
      • Normal labor and how to help the woman every step of the way
      • Epidurals and other medications for labor
      • Pitocin and other means, including natural ones, to induce or speed up labor
      • Non-drug techniques for easing labor pain
      • Cesarean birth and complications that may require it
      • Breastfeeding and newborn care
      • and much more

      For the partner who wishes to be truly helpful in the birthing room, this book is indispensable.
