Synopsis

Challenging negativity and fear of childbirth, and brimming with everything you need to know about labour, birth and the early weeks of parenting, The Positive Birth Book is the must-have guide for pregnant women. A widely acclaimed bestseller since it was first published, it has empowered hundreds of thousands of women worldwide to make informed, positive choices about their births.

Fully revised and updated, this new edition will help you work out what kind of birth you really want, and learn how to maximise your chances of getting it.

Written in Milli Hill’s trademark warm and witty style, discover vital information on everything from building the ultimate birth plan, to your choices and rights in the birth room; from optimal cord clamping, to postnatal mental health; from the inside track on breastfeeding, to positive, gentle caesarean.

Whether you plan to have your baby in hospital, in a birth centre, at home or by elective caesarean, this essential, non-judgemental guide shows you how to raise your expectations and have the best possible birth experience.

  • What you need to know about exercise in pregnancy from Charlie Launder, author of Bumps and Burpees
  • Top tips for breastfeeding from Amy Brown, author of The Positive Breastfeeding Book
