Midwife Marley's Guide For Everyone. Pregnancy, Birth and the 4th Trimester; Bloomsbury, 2022

Do you have questions? The Guide for Everyone has all the answers you need

Marley Hall is a midwife and mum of five – in other words, she's seen it all. In her Guide for Everyone, you'll find answers to questions you never knew you wanted to ask. Like, what do these clinical terms mean? What are my choices? And is there a 'right' way to give birth or take care of my baby?

Birth is a unique experience for every person, and the book contains the latest guidance that will help you to understand the full picture all the way through an entire 12 months. Each chapter is illustrated with Marley's original doodle-drawings and is subtly colour coded, so you can flick through and find exactly what you're looking for right now, when you need it.

There is evidence-based information to support everyone and provide a reliable source of knowledge about important things like when to call your care provider, getting baby into an optimal position for birth, how to approach the 'fourth trimester' (the three months after the birth), and even where to find the shower in a postnatal ward. You'll be armed with all the tools you need to communicate and thrive wherever you are, be it birth centre, hospital or home. It's like having your own personal Marley on call!
