Being Born: The Doula's Role

Author: Jewel Hernandez

Item Code: CD4098

Category: On pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding



$19.95

Being Born: The Doula's Role is a picture book for expectant parents and their young children that clearly explains the doula's role and depicts childbirth as a beautiful family event. It's useful to read to young children who will be attending a birth.

It's not just about the doula's role, but would also makes enjoyable reading as a more general book on natural childbirth (at home or in hospital).

Being Born is a lovely book to explain the role of doula to expectant mothers and their partners.
