This title includes Foreword by Sheila Kitzinger, Writer,
Researcher, Activist and Honorary Professor, Wolfson School of
Health Sciences, Thames Valley University. Birth centres are
suitable for every woman whose birth is straightforward, which
accounts for around 75 per cent of all women. This inspirational
guide shows how small scale maternity provision has a profound
clinical and organisational advantage over large scale hospital
provision, including saving of time and money by reducing
intervention rates. It presents the thoughts and feelings of
midwives and patients and how both enjoy the humane and
compassionate care of the birth centre ethos. The book is
invaluable for midwives, obstetricians, doulas, maternity care
assistants and maternity service planners and managers. It also
provides enlightening information for general practitioners and
other health and social care professionals, maternity service users
groups and academics with an interest in midwifery and health
services. "What birth centres do best is simply providing humane
childbirth care. There are no high tech gadgetry, doctors or
dramatic stories of childbirth rescues that make it into the media.
Yet 'miracles' happen inside their walls every day as women have
their babies after normal labours and births. Until now, there have
been very few books detailing what happens in birth centres so that
women and childbirth professionals can be introduced to an
alternative beyond the large hospital model. This book provides a
window in on the birth centre model and there are some exciting
things to find there about childbirth care in the 21st century." -
Denis Walsh, in the Preface. "Denis Walsh has one of the most
incisive, analytical and brilliant minds in nursing and midwifery
research today. He demonstrates the difference between a quality
environment for birth where a woman can create her own 'nest', and
a technocratic, bureaucratically controlled, highly medicalised and
risk-oriented birth culture dominated by the clock, which is most
women's experience today." - Sheila Kitzinger, in the Foreword.
