The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth

Having a baby has become so complicated in the Western world today that not many women have the chance of simply doing what comes naturally. It has become increasingly difficult for a woman to find a doctor or midwife who will assure her of continuing support and service throughout her pregnancy and labor. These natural events can then sometimes turn into a distressing ordeal. The modern technology of obstetrics, with its blinking lights and humming machinery, is reassuring for some women but alarms many others. There has been a technological takeover of childbirth in recent years and women's bodies are now often regulated by space age technology and monitoring systems. As a result many mothers feel that it is not they, but the doctors, who are having the baby. Some obstetricians are convinced that their patients should not know more than is "good" for them and should simply give them their trust. It is a concept which this book implicitly questions.

Sheila Kitzinger

Sheila Helena Elizabeth Kitzinger MBE (born March 29, 1929 in Taunton, Somerset) is a British natural childbirth activist and author on childbirth and pregnancy. She is a social anthropologist specialising in pregnancy, childbirth and the parenting of babies and young children. Although she lectures on midwifery she has never been a midwife. She campaigns for women to have the information they need to make choices about childbirth.

She is honorary professor at Thames Valley University and teaches the MA in midwifery in the Wolfson School of Health Sciences. She also teaches workshops on the social anthropology of birth and breastfeeding.

She is a strong believer that all women who are not at high risk should be given the choice to benefit from a home birth . She is a keen writer and her books cover women's experiences of antenatal care, birth plans, induction of labour, epidurals, episiotomy, hospital care in childbirth, children's experiences of being present at birth and post traumatic stress following childbirth.
