Happy Birth Day Summary

Happy Birth Day: What to Do When for Your Best Possible Pregnancy and Birth by National Childbirth Trust

"Happy Birth Day" is an authoritative guide to your pregnancy and the first three months of your new baby's life. It is sequenced in order of the decisions that new parents face from conception and choosing the most appropriate antenatal care through to deciding where to have your baby and meeting the demands of your newborn during the first days at home. The NCT believes that with appropriate support and care, the vast majority of women can give birth in the normal, natural way - this book will help the reader to do just that. The book is packaged with a DVD which presents available options on all aspects of conception, pregnancy and birth; follows real-life mothers on their pregnancy and birth 'journeys'; and includes a Birth Stories section with accounts from mothers from all walks of life on their experiences of giving birth. This section includes a star appearance from Davina McCall.
