Download or read book Pregnancy Childbirth and the Newborn written by Penny Simkin and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 915 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in full color, the up-to-date and authoritative pregnancy guide that has sold 1.5 million copies--by recognizing that "one size fits all" doesn't apply to maternity care Parents love this book because it puts them in control; experts love it because it's based on the latest medical research and recommendations from leading health organizations. Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn provides the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions about having a safe and satisfying pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period--decisions that reflect your preferences, priorities, and values. Unlike pregnancy guides that can overwhelm and alarm by telling you up front all the things that can possibly go wrong, this book first describes normal, healthy processes, their typical variations, and the usual care practices for monitoring them. Only then does it cover possible complications and the care practices and procedures for resolving them. Throughout, the presentation is crystal-clear, the tone is reassuring, and the voice is empowering. And the language is inclusive, reflecting today's various family configurations such as single-parent families, blended families formed by second marriages, families with gay and lesbian parents, and families formed by open adoption or surrogacy. From sensible nutrition advice to realistic birth plans, from birth doulas when desired to cesareans when needed, from reducing stress during pregnancy to caring for yourself as well as your baby after birth, this pregnancy guide speaks to today's parents-to-be like no other.

Download or read book Birthing from Within written by Pam England and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giving birth is the pivotal moment of a woman's life but it is often treated as a medical procedure, and not as a rite of passage. Birthing from Within offers parents engaging and memorable ways for pregnant women, and their partners, to activate personal, social and spiritual resources that will guide them through labour and afterwards. Many birth classes teach from the 'outside', from the perspective of the professional. Yet, knowledge of anatomy and the stages of labour can often seem irrelevant in the intensity of contraction. The pregnant woman needs to know about labour and birth from her own perspective, she needs to be prepared for birthing from within. Pam England offers a method that allows a woman to fully understand her own strengths and resources. The self-discoveries made during pregnancy makes birth life-enhancing and empowers the future of the family. It is a multi-sensory and holistic approach that aims to make parents feel positively informed about what they are about to experience, confident about the birth of their child. Pain is an inevtiable part of childbirth but Birthing from Within provides resources for building pain-coping confidence in parents. It gives detailed instructions on dealing with normal labour pain and when the humane use of drugs may be called for."--Cover.

Download or read book Daddy Doula Ish written by W. Bryan Caldwell and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a young man, there is nothing like the first moments after finding out he is going to be father. For me it was a combination of excitement and fear all rolled up into a big smile, tear filled eyes, and a nervous sweat. Daddy Doula-ish was inspired by my experiences as a partner to my wife during the pregnancy and childbirth of our three daughters. DADDY DOULA - A 21st Century Father's Approach to Pregnancy and Child Birth was created to challenge expecting fathers to become connected so they have a more profound experience during the pregnancy and childbirth. Daddy Doula's goal is not for the expecting father to be a professional birth coach, but to be a partner who is present and active during the pregnancy and childbirth. The book provides all the relevant medical terms and concepts to make the father familiar with the labor and delivery process. It also provides activities like DIY projects, choosing a doctor and hospital, health and fitness activities, and creating a birth plan to provide mechanisms to ensure an emotional connection with his partner. To help the expecting father contribute during labor and delivery, the book provides techniques like massage, meditation, and coaching phrases to help the mother cope with the grueling pain and emotional vulnerability of childbirth. To tie the concepts of the book together, the last few chapters are provided to demonstrate to the readers that an everyday guy can take on the role of a partner in the delivery room. I use these chapters to pull back the curtain and let the reader look into the labor and delivery room where each of my daughters was born. I provide an intimate and detailed account of the birth process, coping techniques used, personal frustrations experienced, and the labor decisions made for each birth. I believe with the information and the stories provided in Daddy Doula-ish, any father can become the positive force that can encourage his partner through a vaginal unmedicated child birth. By the end of the book, men will have a way to be a part of a life-experience most of them would have taken for granted. Mostly they will be inspired to be an active father. They will want to be a Daddy Doula. If you want to ask me questions directly go to www.daddydoulaish.com
