Product Description
Product Description
When they give birth many women hope to manage without drugs and to have intervention only if there is a complication; but what they get often depends more on the protocols of the hospital than the progress of their individual labour. Having the birth you want is not simply a matter of luck. It depends as much on choices and preparations beforehand as on your individual labour. Gill Thorn helps women make confident decisions and follow them through to have the birth to suit them and not the medical establishment. This is a revolutionary as well as a highly practical book.
