The Birth Partner is one of several birth/pregnancy/baby books I’m reading. This one focuses on the role of the birthing partner. As the birthing partner, I found the perspective refreshing. I’d recommend to any expecting birthing partner. There was a heavy emphasis on Doulas which was wasted on me as we didn’t plan on having a Doula, but it’s easy to identify those parts and skip them if they’re not relevant.
