PRAISE for THE BIRTH PARTNER "Penny Simkin shows how giving support in childbirth is not only a matter of helping a woman through labor and delivery--important though that is--but also of enabling her to cherish a meaningful memory of birth." - Sheila Kitzinger, author of Rediscovering Birth and The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth "A clearly written book that describes what really happens in our maternity units. I recommend it highly for both parents and a supportive friend." - Marshall Klaus, M.D., author of Bonding, Your Amazing Newborn and Mothering the Mother

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️

Great Book for new Dad
Watching your wife in pain, not being able to do anything. Be prepared with a manual at your side why its all happening, I didnt want to distract my Doctor with my questions, my wife was really going at it. Having a manual right there, with all the info, plus suggestions and better understanding of what's going on. My wife was 2 weeks early, when her contractions stopped, but her water broke, the IV went in, and the chemicals started to flow, what do they do? Its right there on page XXX. As we were told about potential difficulties, I wanted to know percentages and things like that, open to page yyy. REALLY made it easier for me, which in turn being strong and educated, made me a figure of stone for my wife during this wonderful but exhausting time. I would recommend it to all new dad's ...

I would recommend it to all new dad's and anyone who wants a manual about whats going on, wanting to educate themselves at their own pace. A great book, get revision 3 or greater (3 is newest now), but I see 1st and 2nd releases still being sold, and its been updated and even slightly expanded to where they are not really even the same book to some degree. Hope that helps John

The Birth Partner....Highly Recommended!
This new 3 edition is a great book to have! I am a Doula and this book was part of our required reading to get started. I have the 2nd edition already and decided to purchase the updated version! This book is awesome for expecting parents AND their partners. It tells about common happenings in labor/birth and positioning along with comfort measures, common procedures and pain medication usage/side affects during labor. I find this book accurate and informative. I take it with me on my births and I have also "ear marked" key pages that I use (as a doula) often. I also found this book very helpful as a reference for my last child (born 5 months ago). In closing, I recomend this book and will continue to do so!

Wonderful for dads!
I bought this book for my husband and I to read before our HBAC (homebirth after cesarean). Very detailed! My husband did amazing throughout my LONG first labor but it's great to read to help understand things and for him to be a bit more prepared.
