Book excerpt: A funny, extremely informative up-to-date guide to pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Based on the childbirth class series Northwest Natural Childbirth, the workbook stands alone or augments a nine-week childbirth class series. The book covers informed consent, simple pregnancy exercises for a healthy mom and partner, whole foods nutrition, labor and birth, common challenges, preparing the birth "un-plan," what to do if you give birth in the car, and the newborn period and breastfeeding. The writing is fresh, modern, and skillful, and the illustrations are gorgeous.
