Comments:
“This book is an exciting introduction to an area of health care
that has wrongfully fallen into disrepute and neglect. It shows how with proper training, common sense, and adequate cooperation
from mothers, much suffering commonly associated with childbirth may be alleviated and joy brought into the lives of those
who follow Polly's counsel. I see an increasing need for such counsel, particularly if current trends persist. I eagerly
await the sequel to this volume, Polly's "How to" book." —Jack Gambee, M.D.
