"Sharing Birth is excellent. . . .There isn't a pregnant father anywhere who would not benefit from reading, or even just skimming, this book. All you pregnant mothers out there, don't wait for your husband to discover, purchase, and read this book. Get it yourself and give it to him. You'll be glad you did. And he will be glad you did, also." David Stewart, Ph.D. NAPSAC International "Give the expectant father you know a copy of Sharing Birth. It will give him the information he needs to be prepared for that event whether it takes place at home, in the hospital, or in a birth center. And for that his wife, his baby, and he will thank you!" Marian Thompson La Leche League International
