Title: Solid
Review: I couldn't be happier with the straightforward approach used by the authors. I would have to say that the tone is more reassuring than alarmist, which is great for this first timer. While What to Expect does have a more "this is your girlfriend offering advice" tone to to it, it also tends toward alarmist tendencies and it's clear that the authors are subject to birthing/parenting trends which Mayo Clinic avoids for sound scientific reasons. If it isn't scientifically proven, take it with a grain of salt.That said, the de-emphasis on home-birthing may be off-putting for those serious about that option. It might have been more helpful to suggest courses of action, additional training for attendant fathers and so on as parents who are insistent upon home birth should be aware of and provided with necessary tools rather than simply told, "not a good idea". Besides, anything can happen, even to a hospital bound couple.Overall, a great handbook.
