Your Pregnancy Quick Guide: Labor and Delivery, What You Need to Know about Childbirth by Glade B. Curtis
From the authors of the best-selling Your Pregnancy series, medically sound and succinct guides for the pregnant woman who needs detailed information on a specific concern:
Tips for preparing mentally and physically for the big day
How to recognize the onset of labor
When to go to the hospital after labor begins
Guidance on choosing between natural childbirth and one with medical intervention
What you need to know about Cesarean delivery
Information on the different pain relief options
Advice for your partner or labor coach
An overview of the tests you'll go through during and after delivery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wish I had read this before my labor and delivery, but even reading it in the days afterward was very useful. It was reassuring to read about normalcy and have answers to questions about things that occurred and would occur in the days soon to come. This book answers many of the questions that a new mom has and may not think to ask her doctor. Questions can be answered or prompted from this little quick guide. It is short enough to read in snippets and enjoy the information gained. I recommend it and look forward to other Quick Guides from the "Your Pregnancy" series.
