Customer Reviews

Very informative, quick read4
After seeing several references to Doulas in other pregnancy and childbirth books, I was curious about exactly what a Doula does and doesn't do. This book answered all my questions. It is well-oranged and easy to read -- I finished it in about 2 hours. The authors are certainly very pro-Doula, but I can't think of anything they're against, except mothers being forced to experience childbirth alone. I am likely to search for a Doula when I get pregnant.

The only negative is the very 70's-ish photos, which I found a bit distracting, but they certainly don't detract from the content.

My first doula book4
I am a soon-to-be doula in training. This was the first book I've read from the required reading list. The writing is well put together and down to earth. It was an excellent overview of the challenges ahead. It works well as a first "taste" of the service offered by loving, caring, labor assistants.

Mothering the Mother5
This book is very helpful and insightful. I found the reading easy and informative. This book truly gives a clear idea of what a doula does and doesn't do. What a woman can and will experience. What is helpful for labor and delivery.
