Sheila expains everything in a way other authors can't manage. I've learnt a lot about my body and my baby's body by reading this book and learn more every time I pick it up!

This review is from: The New Pregnancy and Childbirth (Penguin health books) (Paperback)
A well written book, covering all aspects of pregnancy and birth, educational and the best of the numerous books i have read in the space of 2 pregnancys. From understanding your medical record to making educated choices about your birthing preferances, this book takes you away from being a passive patient to being an informed mother. explaining different types of labour, how to relieve it, and even has a chapter for expectant dads. This is my childbirth bible, if you only buy one book make it this one.

This review is from: The New Pregnancy & Childbirth (Hardcover)
My mother gave me the earlier edition of this book when I was pregnant with my first child. Over my four pregnancies I have refered to this book more than any other. It covers all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and the first few weeks with a newborn. It is written in a highly informative yet easy-to-read style with diagrams and lovely pictures. I have bought this book as a gift for several friends and family (at least 4 times). If you only buy one pregnancy book, buy this one.
