This beautifully illustrated, descriptive but concise handbook presents birth in a family-centered, normal, and fearless manner, allowing parents to prepare themselves for the most basic of all human experiences in the event of an unexpected homebirth. After discovering a lack of educational material on this topic, the author now offers a handbook that will normalize the human birth process by presenting an easy, step-by-step guide to assist parents, loved ones, or even doulas, in confidently and fearlessly responding to an imminent birth.

Why not be prepared! While the majority of families in the United States plan to have their babies at a hospital or birth center, sometimes babies are determined to be born quickly. This handbook will give you the basic information in order to know how to respond to and support a mom and full-term baby when there is simply no time to get into the car and make it to the delivery destination. From a brief overview of the maternal/baby lifeline to addressing rare complications that could arise, this handbook has it all in order to prepare you for one of the most complicated yet simple physiologic processes of the human body. Now you can confidently, calmly and fearlessly react with the basic skills needed to keep both mom and baby safe until further assistance arrives.

Developed specifically with the family in mind, birth is presented as the normal, physiologic process that it was meant to be. The author brings her homebirth and hospital experiences to a handbook that all expectant families should have on hand.
