Unassisted birth helper

I bought this to help my husband prepare for our baby's home birth. It was informative and the comical cover belies the serious tone of the book. It's a good second to Gregory White's Emergency Childbirth.

EMERGENCY CHILDBIRTH-- A Practical Self Help Guide

Anyone who has ever felt responsibility for a pregnant woman will welcome this book by Nancy Crowley as a very practical, informative guide to handling that potential crisis that gives husbands gray hairs and occasional nightmares as "the" day approaches. In a very pragmatically organized fashion the author takes the fear out of childbirth and replaces it with sound, concise statements about the normal birth process. The experience of someone who has been there comes through in these pages with easy-to -follow instructions about how to prepare, what should be happening at various stages of labor and how to proceed depending upon the mother's progress or lack thereof. Especially useful are well-established tricks-of -the -trade for overcoming complications both of the minor and major variety. The book is organized in a well thought out fashion for turning quickly to the instructions needed at any stage of labor. Although it can best be used by one who has taken the time to read it thoroughly and establishes a background on the material here, it is set up in such a way that a quick grasp is possible when the crisis is upon you and the time for preparation is past. I would recommend HELP-SHE'S HAVING A BABY for every home library that anticipates an addition to the family.
