Van Blarcom was the first American nurse licensed as a midwife and campaigned against the neglect that was blinding newborns, and this is her practical preparation: what to expect month by month, diet and exercise, choosing attendants, the layette, the confinement itself and the weeks after it.

Calm, expert preparation for a first baby, from a nurse who reformed the field. Download the free EPUB.
