A practical, no nonsense approach to ensuring you are fully prepared for the greatest adventure out there!
This is a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this no-nonsense guide to giving birth and what to expect. . . . The Happy Birth Book gives great medical, psychological and social advice, which means you will be 110 per cent ready for the big day. I think every expectant parent - male and female - should be given a copy
If you are having a baby, this is a MUST READ. Get the birth you want whatever path you choose
This is an amazing book. It will help you understand some complicated things about giving birth, but it is also so lively and understanding with a lovely way of talking about feelings. Above all, The Happy Birth Book emphasises that you are the expert on you, reminds you that your mind and body are connected (surprisingly this is often overlooked), and encourages you to aim high for a good experience. Full of information, realistic and not sentimental, The Happy Birth Book will help you work towards a good birth. It should be read by every woman having a baby, every partner becoming parent and by whoever else is involved. It should also be read by anyone providing care around birth, including students
Beverley Turner is at the forefront of a new generation leading birth into the future. Her passion for women's well-being, her common-sense and eye for humour emanate off every page . . . It is a must-have for every pregnant woman and every midwife
[Turner's] new book has a friendly, upbeat tone and is chock-full of useful tips to help make your labour day a happy experience, whatever it throws at you. You go, girl
