"New Active Birth" will help you and your partner prepare for and
experience an Active Birth. Naturally, throughout time and the
world over, women have chosen to walk, stand, squat, lie - to move
their bodies freely and actively to find the most comfortable
positions for labour and birth. It is only we in the west who have
the extraordinary notion that a woman should lie on her back in a
position that defies the laws of nature and gravity. With this
book, you can learn to develop all your body's resources to deal
with the instinctive experience of childbirth. It is also for
partners, teachers, midwives and everyone involved, to help mothers
get up off the delivery table and to bring back some of the common
sense which has been overlooked by modern obstetrics. "New Active
Birth" is the new and revised edition of Janet Balaskas' pioneering
and acclaimed "Active Birth" covering over 180 clear black and
white photographs and line drawings throughout. Fully updated and
extended with new information - includes sections on Water Birth
and Recovery After Birth. It offers revised and expanded prenatal
and postnatal exercises with step by step photographs. It presents
a detailed up-to-the minute section covering every aspect of Active
Birth at home and in hospital and the Active Birth Movement. Janet
Balaskas is the founder of the Active Birth Movement. The mother of
four children, she trained with the National Childbirth Trust and
is a counsellor for childbirth.

Great book. I feel knowledgeable and sure in the way I want my birth to be. It has taken any scariness out as it has wonderful quotes from real mum's on their experience of birth. I highly recommend it.
