Product Description
Review
"Each edition of The Labor Progress Handbook improves on the previous one, and this third edition is an even more indispensable resource for maternity care practitioners, especially within the context of today′s overuse of birth technology, cesarean sections, and nonevidence–based management practices. Congratulations, Penny Simkin and Ruth Ancheta! You′ve given caregivers a powerful gift to pass on to childbearing women ... again!." (Birth, 1 March 2012)
Product Description
The third edition of The Labor Progress Handbook builds on the success of first two editions and remains an unparalleled resource on simple, non–invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor. Features new to this edition include two new chapters on third and fourth stage labor management and low–technology interventions, a complete analysis of directed versus spontaneous pushing, and additional information on massage techniques.

Format:Paperback
I am almost at the end of my 2nd year as student midwife, this book is by far the best one on my bookshelf. Excellent depictions on head positions within the pelvis - really helpful if you struggle to visualise baby's head in the pelvis in various positions. OP optimum positioning tried and tested real practice, what midwives and women can do to enable most effective positions to encourage rotation, and ones to avoid. Really good section on epidurals and OP too.
I could write an essay as there is so much more than what i have mentioned.
This book has to be a priority for anyone undertaking training - particularly when beginning labour ward placements.
It's the best on my shelf and will be useful for many years to come.........

Excellent reference for natural childbirth
16 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an obstetrics provider, this is an excellent manual for helping deliveries progress naturally and decreasing your cesarean section rate. The book makes great suggestions for encouraging labor progress with position changes, etc before proceeding to medical interventions that also carry greater risk. Evidence-based with excellent references after each chapter. Perfect for anyone involved in the care of women during labor & delivery, including OB/GYN's, Midwives, MD's, RN's, and Doulas.

Invaluable information!
31 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a birth doula and I just finished reading through this book. I cannot believe how much information is in this book! It is well organized and provides evidence based ways to promote a "normal" labor. Though it was written for care providers, I can see the information in this book greatly helping me in future births. Not only do I have a greater understanding of what the nurses, midwives, and doctors are can do, but I can implement a lot of the interventions as well- such as knowing which positions help turn a baby who is OP. And when an intervention is beyond my scope, I can still explain to the family (if needed) how the intervention is designed to help.
The only reason I decided on a 4-star rating is for the Kindle version of this book. There were a few minor typos and grammatical errors. None of them made the material unreadable, but it was annoying.
