Helpful
This book was helpful and reassuring at the last mental endurance stage of pregnancy when you are just waiting for the birth. It was informative and easy to follow with lots of bullet points. On a negative, for me it was also very American and so did not relate to the NHS. I bought this for my mum who was my birth partner and when I had a thought or worry we would look it up. It was not helpful when thinking about what drugs you might want to take but when thinking about symptoms of labour it was informative and concise. I would recommend it as a reference book when waiting for first baby .
