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
