Since the original publication of The Birth Partner, partners, friends, relatives, and doulas have relied on Penny Simkin's guidance in caring for the new mother, from her last trimester through the early postpartum period.
Now, in audio for the first time, The Birth Partner remains the definitive guide to helping a woman through labor and birth. The Birth Partner includes thorough information on:
- Preparing for labor and knowing when it has begun
- Normal labor and how to help the woman every step of the way
- Epidurals and other medications for labor
- Pitocin and other means, including natural ones, to induce or speed up labor
- Non-drug techniques for easing labor pain
- Cesarean birth and complications that may require it
- Breastfeeding and newborn care
- And much more
For the partner who wishes to be truly helpful in the birthing room, this audiobook is indispensable.

Loved it

What is more jarring though are the sudden shifts in audio quality that pop in randomly. They do the book a disservice and make the listening experience unpleasant at times. Perhaps this was a product of the book coming out in 2020, but be forewarned if you decide to purchase this particular version. All in all, very helpful and would highly recommend to expectant partners.

The information given in this book really puts a lot of fear induce anxiety at ease. Very thorough book and talks about a lot of things that most people don’t even consider when having a child. Thank you for this 5th addition and the gender affirming language that is inclusive to ALL and not some. Beautiful job.
