Publisher's summary
Do you have questions? The Guide for Everyone has all the answers you need
Marley Hall is a midwife and mum of five – in other words, she's seen it all. In her Guide for Everyone, you'll find answers to questions you never knew you wanted to ask. Like, what do these clinical terms mean? What are my choices? And is there a 'right' way to give birth or take care of my baby?
Birth is a unique experience for every person, and the book contains the latest guidance that will help you to understand the full picture all the way through an entire 12 months.
There is evidence-based information to support everyone and provide a reliable source of knowledge about important things like when to call your care provider, getting baby into an optimal position for birth, how to approach the 'fourth trimester' (the three months after the birth), and even where to find the shower in a postnatal ward. You'll be armed with all the tools you need to communicate and thrive wherever you are, be it birth centre, hospital or home. It's like having your own personal Marley on call!
“Supportive, inclusive, knowledgeable and wonderfully warm, Midwife Marley is the perfect partner for your positive pregnancy and parenting journey. Every family touched by her help feels genuinely valued.”
