Heart & Hands: A Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy & Birth by Elizabeth Davis

5.0

This is an excellent resource for out-of-hospital births. Accessibly written, addressed to the lay public, and in a friendly approachable tone, this is just a really great book. It focuses more on pregnancy than on labor and birth per se, but it has lots of solid information that's been pared down from textbooks so that most people can read it and not be bored stiff. For a book on pregnancy, Davis does an excellent job. (For books on birth, see some of the others on this list.)
