This is a book on pregnancy and birth by Dr Mirriam Stoppard. The book is from the 90\\\\\\\'s but I would still say that it\\\\\\\'s worth having. It is very informative and as I am of the Stoppard fan base (and NOT the Ford) I can confidently say that it is written very well and is understanding (if that makes any sense!) Free to any pregnant ladies out there. It is a paper back and only has a very slight mark on the front cover. From a smoke free home and really is excellent to read. It didn\\\\\\\'t make me feel petrified of birth, put it that way!
