Has anyone seen or bought the book that the Sociey of Obs and Gynes of Canada has put out? Healthy Beginnings: Your Handbook for Pregnancy and Birth.

Just curious as I like to stay on op of things Canadian and what they recommend.

Yes, I have it, as do the other doulas in my local group. It's not bad. It's basically an overview of most common pregnancy and birth issues. It's a nice looking book that is written with the SOGC recommendations as the "philosophy" or starting point. It's also budget concious. I've heard of some women giving it to all their clients.

RRP is around $19 but if bought in bulk, the price is cheaper - 10 plus shipping
