Riassunto

This new edition of Janet Balaskas' bestselling guide to active pregnancy and childbirth aims to brings back the "common sense" she believes is often overlooked by modern obstetrics. Throughout time and the world over, women in labour have chosen to move about freely and actively - to find the most comfortable position for childbirth. Only recently have women have been told to lie on their backs - in a position that defies the laws of nature and gravity. "Active Birth" helps parents to prepare for and to experience a more liberated, more natural and therefore more comfortable childbirth and its wisdom applies throughout the pregnancy. The book shows how to develop the body's natural resources and to deal instinctively with the experience of childbirth. It includes supportive quotes from mothers who have been through an active birth, and pre- and post-natal yoga and breathing exercises. The book is a step-by-step guide to what birth can feel like and the different options available to mums at all stages, including recovery after the birth.
