Product Description
The complete and essential guide to birth with a doula by the "undisputed experts in the field."-- Los Angeles Times More and more parents-to-be all over the world are choosing the comfort and reassuring support of birth with a trained labor companion called a "doula." This warm, authoritative, and irreplaceable guide completely updates the authors' earlier book, Mothering the Mother, and adds much new and important research. In addition to basic advice on finding and working with a doula, the authors show how a doula reduces the need for cesarean section, shortens the length of labor, decreases the pain medication required, and enhances bonding and breast feeding. The authors, world-renowned authorities on childbirth with combined experience of over 100 years working with laboring women, have made their book indispensable to every woman who wants the healthiest, safest, and most joyful possible birth experience.

Essentially the same book as "Mothering the Mother" with some updated information about doula training... also includes suggested birthing poses and relaxation & visualization techniques.

This book has great stats, but I would not waste your money on the book if you are expecting much more. I would borrow the book or buy it used if you are intesred in looking up how great doula's are :)
Must Read May 9, 2009
Teri L. Langston (Santa Clara, CA United States)
This book is a must read for anyone expecting or planning on using a doula, or want to know what one is! I highly recommend not only reading this book, but using a doula. Proven to have shorter labors, less medical interventions & happier newborns!
 Not a great pregnancy book May 19, 2008

I read this book while I was pregnant, because it was recommended. I can't say that I figured out why it was recommended. Many folks have commented that it was a great book for those studying to be a doula, but I wasn't.
If you are attempting a natural child birth in a hospital, hire a doula. She lowers your risks for numerous interventions. However, that can be said in one sentence and backed up with a few paragraphs.
