This book tells it to you straight, without the fluff, all wrapped in down-to-earth birth stories from the trenches of birthing units and home birth pools all over the country. Discover how to help your partner have a faster, easier birth. Learm what to say and what not to say during childbirth, understand how to adjust your support for each stage of labour. This book gives dads-to-be (and any other support people) the info they need to be involved in the birth of their baby in the best way possible, together with birth stories from men who've been there before and learned the hard way. And sometimes the funny way. Always the hands-on way.

Only a woman can really explain how childbirth actually feels and as a professional doula or birth attendant, Lucy has supported many couples to give birth. Furthermore, she was married to a man for 20 years and this taught her that men are terrible mind readers. They prefer you tell it to them straight and thats the only way she knows how.
