This completely updated edition includes thorough information on:
 
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;
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.
