Description

The main aim of this volume is to point the way toward safe and positive vaginal delivery for both first-time and post-Caesarean parents. It details the consequences of unnecessary Caesareans, such as physical trauma to mother and baby, maternal-infant separation, increased risk of maternal death and illness and greater difficulty in breast-feeding. Step-by-step procedures provide a plan for Caesarean prevention, as well as instructions on how to use the author's guided imagery techniques.
