The Thinking Woman's Guide To A Better Birth (Paperback, Revised ed.)

As an intelligent woman, you are probably used to learning as much as you can before making major decisions. But when it comes to one of the most important decisions of your life--how you will give birth--it is hard to gather accurate, unbiased information. Surprisingly, much of the research does not support common medical opinion and practice.

Birth activist Henci Goer gives clear, concise information based on the latest medical studies. The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth helps you compare and contrast your various options and shows you how to avoid unnecessary procedures, drugs, restrictions, and tests. The book covers:

CESAREANS
BREECH BABIES
INDUCING LABOR
ELECTRONIC FETAL MONITORING
RUPTURING MEMBRANES
COPING WITH SLOW LABOR
PAIN MEDICATION
EPISTIOTOMY
VAGINAL BIRTH AFTER A CESAREAN
