About this item

According to my mother when I was 4, I declared that I wanted to be a midwife. So I put on my nurses dressing-up outfit, wrenched one of my beloved dolls out from under my dress and made the obligatory new born baby crying sound (if only it was so easy) . Mum to four little girls and midwife to many, Clemmie Hooper wants to share her knowledge, wisdom and stories about pregnancy, birth and mothering young children that aren't so widely talked about - straight from the midwife's mouth. From how to prevent tearing during birth to what you really need in your labour bag, Clemmie reveals everything pregnant women and new mums need to know with a good dose of humour and wit.
