Riassunto:

A book to help midwives and other health care professionals think through the practicalities of optimising pregnancies and births. After explaining precisely how 'optimal' is defined, nine reasons are presented to justify why this kind of birth is best. Finally, key practical issues are considered and reflective questions provided, so as to give caregivers a clear basis for clinical practice, wherever their place of work. This easy-read, accessible book, which is fully referenced, is equally useful for students of midwifery (or obstetrics, or medicine generally), practising midwives, doulas, and maternity care assistants. This third edition includes changes based on feedback and some additional material.

Informazioni sull'autore: Sylvie Donna has been researching childbirth since she became pregnant with her first child. At that time she was finishing her Master's and her impulse on hearing about various obstetric practices was to check the research. This led her to explore ways of making her own birth as safe as possible and resulted in her experiencing three optimal births herself. (She now has three daughters.) After writing a book for pregnant women (Birth: Countdown to Optimal), Sylvie was encouraged to write a book for midwives and other healthcare professionals. She now continues to research birth and publish books by other authors (with Fresh Heart Publishing), but she also works full-time at Durham University as an MA lecturer and providing support for postgraduate students.
