I'm only half way through a borrowed copy of this book, but had to have my own copy to have in one hand when I go into labour! Nicky Wesson explains all the processes of labour in a way that's understandable but not too simplistic, and brings in the mental aspect too. If you're looking for a book to give you an overview of the whole experience of labour, lots of advice on how to prepare yourself mentally and physically all through your pregnancy, how to deal with doctors and midwives and decide how and where you want to give birth, this is the ideal book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Author, 19 Feb 2004

By A Customer

I have read another of this author's books, about infertility, and really found her to be of great help and sympathetic. I am now pregnant, and aprehensive about the birth, and every time I read another chapter, feel more positive and less nervous about the upcoming event. She manages to communicate all the scientific background to labour in a very easy to understand way. I feel I understand the process much better, and appreciated the sections on proper methods to use to ease discomfort. I highly recommend this book to any pregnant woman who is apprehensive about her upcoming birth; this is a very soothing book to read.
