Summary

The authors of the acclaimed A Midwife's Story explore the issues that influence the way women give birth technology, psychology, culture, medications and history. They demonstrate that most hospitals aren't designed to bring out the wisdom of the body at birth and reveal how to find a setting that will help make your child's birth a healthy and powerful experience.
