Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 Mary Lou Kopas helps deliver three babies in a single day. She is a certified nurse-midwife, who helps women navigate the joys, terrors, and transformations of pregnancy and birth.
#2 When Nayantara started experiencing contractions, Brumble didn’t want to be treated as a medical emergency, so she wanted to have a more personal connection with her labor. She and her husband packed a bag with fuzzy slippers, music, and snacks to help her through labor, but the baby came so fast they barely made it to the hospital in time.
#3 At the hospital, the nurse straps a fetal heart monitor around Brumble’s belly and helps her onto the table. Her contractions become stronger and closer together during the ride. Kopas can’t see the cervix, so she estimates its size by bridging the opening with two fingers. It’s a skill that takes time to master.
#4 The midwife overseeing Brumble’s care is also the baby’s doctor, monitoring the baby’s heart rate with a handheld ultrasound device called a Doppler. She is constantly alert for complications.
