Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn 4th Edition, by Penny Simkin, April Bolding, Ann Keppler and Janelle Durham describes every part from prenatal nutrition to creating a beginning plan. Doulas, pain relief choices and homebirth are all introduced in a good, evenhanded manner, leaving the reader to decide what choices may be best for herself and her baby.
The authors have carried out an excellent job at outlining the many choices obtainable to pregnant and birthing women today. There may be a complete chapter describing what labor could also be like, as well as one about doable complications. I liked that these two have been separate; moms-to-be can examine what usually occurs, after which go on to learn about potential complications. The book does this with postpartum, too. There's a chapter on cesareans and one on breastfeeding.
The book additionally consists of helpful appendices on common medicines utilized in labor, a summary of normal labor without pain drugs and recommended sources that readers may want to pursue. All in all, an exquisite book has been made even better. I'd recommend all midwives maintain this book in their lending library for brand new parents. It could additionally make an excellent baby shower gift.
