For many thousands of years women have given birth among people
they know in a place they know well, usually their own home.
Knowledge is shared between the participants and birth is a social
event. In northern industrial societies today, when a woman gets
pregnant she may be presented with various options. Yet if she is
having her first baby she has only the vaguest idea of how birth
really feels and how other women cope. In this new and revised
edition of her classic book, Sheila Kitzinger explores the
universal experience of pregnancy and birth. She looks closely at
the place of birth, how women move in childbirth and what is done
to help them and examines the bond traditionally formed between
mothers and midwives.
