Paulina Perez's 2nd Edition of The Nurturing Touch at Birth, A Labor Support Handbook is a comprehensive guide for anyone wishing to excel at providing labor support. After several background chapters… I absolutely loved this book! Paulina did a great job of presenting the information in a helpful, clear way that was nicely illustrated. My husband appreciated the photos as he doesn't read very much.
