Her book describes in simple language and with wonderfully clear illustrations what is happening in our bodies when we are expecting a baby. The author tells what to look for in the various stages and phases of labor and delivery, and then continues to discuss the first week after birth." Elisabeth Bing, FACCE, Founder ASPO/Lamaze
