Summary: For a nurse, not a new mom
Rating: 4
I bought this so that I could be the most prepared new mom. It was well over my head at times. If you are not training to be a doula, I recommend The Birth Partner instead.
Summary: A Birth Junkies Joy, Labor!
Rating: 5
Having children and reading anything about pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum has lead me to investigate labor, especially during my fifth pregnancy. I have also sat in with a few friends and family members during labor and really wanted to read more. This was a great book and I’m sure I will continue to look back to it.
Summary: great info
Rating: 5
I own the last edition and find it invaluable in my practice. Can’t wait to see what’s new and exciting here
Summary: Excellent Handbook!
Rating: 5
The Labor Progress Handbook, though a bit pricey, is an excellent book. It contains a tons of labor information and is complete with many illustrations. It’s a nice compact size, which makes it easy to carry with you (great for doulas, midwives, etc.). I love it!
Summary: Labor Progress Handbook
Rating: 4
This book is wonderfully full of information, however, as it is called a “handbook”, I expected it to be more concise, and so more quickly usable in a labor setting - more of a quick reference book. It is more of a textbook than a handbook. I think I’ve read everything that Penny Simkin has had published. I am a fan of her writings, just disappointed that this was not more concise.
