Sheila Kitzinger brings together the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy in this revised guide to preparing for birth and early parenthood. Beginning with the changes of pregnancy, she discusses antenatal care, relationships, decisions about where and how to give birth, labour, pain relief and the needs of a newborn. Throughout, her approach encourages women to understand their experiences and take an active part in the choices surrounding childbirth. Practical explanations sit alongside attention to feelings, expectations and the support that families need. Reflecting the information and maternity practices of its edition, the book offers a substantial introduction to Kitzinger's influential approach to pregnancy and birth.
