Women have high expectations of their men during labour and long memories so expectant dads have to prepare themselves for the task ahead. Cheers to Childbirth does just that in a way that is both entertaining and constructive.
Denise Love, Birth Consultant
This book is excellent. Men who read it will be much better prepared for their role in the birth.
