Summary

This book covers pain management, caesareans, home birth, hospital birth, breastfeeding - the lot. Discover how to make childbirth easier and faster for your partner. Learn what to say and what not to say to a woman in labour. Where to touch and how not to touch. When to duck for cover and when to come out fighting. This childbirth book is the must-have handbook for expectant dads, who have a big job on their hands. Cheers to Childbirth tells it to you straight, without the fluff, all wrapped in down-to-earth birth stories from the trenches of birthing units and home birth pools all over the country. Childbirth can be a daunting prospect for men who are usually overlooked when it comes to birth preparation. Yet, when it comes to the big day, they are expected to know exactly how to support their partner through what can be the most physically challenging and emotionally charged event in their whole lives. Now with new regulations in place in all Australian and NZ hospitals, a woman can only choose one support partner to be with her during labour. If that's you, you'd better buckle up and read this book
