An international collaboration of lecturers, practitioners and researchers. Each chapter considers a topic relevant to normalizing maternity care. Topics include: routine interventions - epidurals - physiological third and fourth stages - longer labors and approaches to monitoring / intervention - most effective models of care - birth centers - home birth - mental health - doulas - reasons for intervention - links between research and practice - harmonizing models of birth - caseload midwifery - including 'normality' on medical training courses - the symbolic value of birth - developments in China, the UAE, Brazil and other countries where dramatic changes are taking place (e.g. in sub-Saharan Africa) - the 'natural' cesarean - individual agents for change - intrapartum best practice - ways of supporting women laboring without pharmacological pain relief - water birth - VBAC - the role of regulatory bodies - ways of publicizing your work - communication for best results - review of progress and pointers for future research. Questions and extracts provide stimulating reflection and seminar material. For midwives, obstetricians, family doctors, doulas and other maternity caregivers. I strongly recommend this book to midwives, obstetricians, doctors and hospital administrators. It carefully reviews the scientific data. Marsden Wagner-who was director of Women's and Children's Health at the World Health Organization for 15 years, before his retirement.
