Synopsis

Having a baby can be one of the most wonderful experiences in a woman's life - especially if she knows how to make the most of it. HAPPY BIRTH DAY! tells her how to do exactly that. Packed with the latest information and written in a practical, reasuring style completely consonant with Torah values, HAPPY BIRTH DAY! invites women of all ages to take a fresh look at the precious moments of bringing new life into the world. From getting into peak condition to choosing a childbirth education class, from the how-tos of relaxation to knowing when to go to the hospital, this book covers it all. Labor support, due date, proactive labor and even how to interact with hospital staff - it's all here, including today's delivery room technology and options explained in clear, easy-to-understand laymen's terms. Good nutrition is made doable, with listings of common food values and answers to commonly asked questions about diet during pregnancy. Relaxation techniques that work - including methods of breathing - are presented step by step, making them easy to follow. Contemporary childbirth is filled with decisions to be made. In HAPPY BIRTH DAY! hospital policies are spelled out, including their pros and cons, to help parents-to-be make what may be crucial choices. Throughout the book, real women tell their stories, giving insight in a way only a woman who has been through it can. This book is a must for every mother-to-be.
