Attending Your Grandchild’s Birth: A Guide for Grandparents
By CAROLYNN BAUER ZORN
Informative, well researched and easy to read
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2000
“This book is really one of a kind; most birth books don't talk about the grandparents' role. It offers lots of helpful advice, like how to help your daughter through her pregnancy, what foods to offer when she comes to visit, and how to prepare for attending the birth -- it even has a checklist of items to take with you to the hospital. In addition, the book has chapters about child-proofing your house for grandchildren, a history of childbirthing practices, and a plain English description of new obstetric technology -- it even has a sensitive chapter about stillbirth, which most birth books ignore. I found this book really helpful and recommend it to all grandparents, even those who aren't really interested in attending the birth -- there is plenty of other information you can use.”
