How to Grow a Baby and Push It Out : Your no-nonsense guide to pregnancy and birth

Bought this for my daughter-in-law and was looking for a drama free book with good information on being pregnant. I love Clemmie and her thought process. Just wanted my daughter-in-law not to be scared witless by watching videos and reading books that were filled with drama.

This book was such an enjoyable read packed with a good balance of knowledge, tips and tricks and humour. Written by a British midwife, it offers North American readers an alternative perspective on prenatal care and labour and delivery techniques. It actually inspired me to seek out midwifery care for my own pregnancy! I ended up buying another copy for a friend who also delivered with a midwife. However, even if you are having a hospital birth with an OB there is plenty of useful information in this book and it's just overall a fun and friendly read!

Great book explanation is really good.

I preordered the book last year after following (and laughing and enjoying) motherofdaughters on instagram for quite some time. I would absolutely recommend it, for any pregnant woman who enjoys a good laugh additionally to loads of great professional information!since the author is british, clearly the detailed info about the common check ups during pregnancy and other healthcaresystem related stuff is not quite a match for us here in Austria or Germany. But since it differs just in details, the book still gives relevant info which is useful for all pregnant ladies, no matter in which country they live in!im conclousio: i would absolutely recommend this book, espacially for all those pregnant ladies who look for something different, personal with a twinkle in the eye, from aaalll the established (and quite some time boring) pregnancy books!!

Bought for my daughter, expecting her first baby. Wrote by a midwife, so all the bits you need to know. Very good.
