by Heather Baker, Traditional Midwife
2nd edition
379 pages
Whether you are planning/wanting/needing to freebirth, or plan to have midwives attend your homebirth; or will be at a birth centre, Airbnb, or hospital - this book contains essential and useful birthing knowledge for any birthing person, regardless of your personal birth philosophy or chosen birth team & venue.
Heather's book is not a medical manual and is not exhaustive - but it is a very helpful basic primer in the essentials you need to know.
Her book covers such topics as pre-natal care, birth prep, pain management, positions, third stage, post partum, managing risk factors and complication, infant resus, and finishes with a number of inspiring birth stories.
