Synopsis

A book to help midwives, obstetricians and other healthcare professionals think through the practicalities of optimizing pregnancies and births. After explaining precisely how 'optimal' is defined, eight reasons are presented to justify why this kind of birth is best. Finally, key practical issues are considered and reflective questions provided, so as to give caregivers a clear basis for clinical practice, wherever their place of work. This easy-read, accessible book is equally useful for students of midwifery (or obstetrics, or medicine generally), practicing midwives (including CNMs), family doctors, doulas, and maternity care assistants.

À propos de l'auteur

Sylvie Donna is a teacher and lecturer at Durham University in the UK. Sylvie's own three pregnancies prompted her to begin researching issues around birth, perhaps because it was her habit to conduct research while she was finishing her own Master's. Then, after experiencing three safe and satisfying birthing experiences, she gradually became aware of how few other mothers were having similarly good experiences and how many caregivers were becoming disillusioned by the problems common in contemporary models of midwifery or obstetric care. This led her to conduct more research, collect first-hand accounts and collaborate with health professionals. Her aim in this book is to inspire creative solutions from students, midwives, obstetricians, MDs, doulas and other caregivers working in the field of birth so as to improve experience and safety for mothers, babies and professionals.
