Facing the polar forces of an epidemic of cesarean sections and
epidurals and home-like labor rooms, American birth is in
transition. Caught between the most extreme medicalization -- best
seen in a cesarean section rate of nearly 30 percent -- and a
rhetoric of women's "choices" and "the natural," women and their
midwives, doulas, obstetricians, and nurses labor on. "Laboring On"
offers the voices of all of these practitioners, all women trying
to help women, as they struggle with this increasingly split vision
of birth.
