This book was a great guide when I was pregnant because I had no friends who were going through that experience. Thank you Ina May. ( ) This book made me so excited about giving birth when I was pregnant! This book details the experiences of the women of "the farm" who became self-taught midwives from their extensive experiences helping each other deliver babies without medical intervention. This book empowers the pregnant woman to rethink pregnancy, birth, and her body as well as gives practical and essential information about pregnancy, birth, parenting/caring for your infant, etc. You can have a natural childbirth! Read this book and become at peace and as one with your growing baby and experience the joys (really!) of childbirth as nature had intended! Vigorous babies, born at home without anesthesia to triumphant, energized mothers and fathers in a touch-filled atmosphere of love and support, are the goal of Spiritual Midwifery, a concept that brings dignity back to a "baby having." Gaskin's practical ethics maximize woman's sexuality for power and control rather than pain and suffering, as the commune women testify in inspirational "Amazing Birthing Tales." The revised edition includes a larger midwife manual on pregnancy, labor, and delivery, including complications. Appended home delivery checklists and statistics on 722 midwife-assisted births at The Farm in Tennessee. Bibliography. Index. From The Booklist, "Alternative Press Scene", 9/15/1978, p161. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Spiritual Midwifery is considered by many to be the bible of the home birth movement. This classic book on natural childbirth introduced a whole generation of women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. At a time when higher levels of technology were the wave of the future, the home birth movement testified to the naturalness and normalcy of the birthing process-even the sacredness of it. Ina May Gaskin, the author, is a powerful advocate for a woman's right to give birth without excessive and unnecessary medical intervention. Now in its fourth edition, her voice is needed as much now as then. In today's climate of unprecedented numbers of cesarean sections and induced labor, knowledge of this birthing process enables women to make informed choices regarding their maternity care and delivery options. The birthing stories and section on care of the newborn are valuable to anyone about to become a parent. One of the highlights of this book is the collection of amazing birth tales that replaces misconceptions about childbirth with an awareness of the rights of mothers and babies to experience a conscious and loving process. Birthing tales from ladies who were babies in earlier editions of Spiritual Midwifery and stories of Amish women from a nearby community who were delivered by The Farm Midwives bring a fresh perspective. Also new to this edition is information on postpartum depression and maternal death along with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, and the safety of popular practices such as labor induction and cesarean operations. Photos of ecstatic faces of mothers and babies permeate the pages. The section on instructions to midwives provides excellent clinical information for all health professionals who attend births. The stories and information in this volume will remain relevant to women for generations to come. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
