Birthright contains some of the latest thinking about fertility, pregnancy, and birth. It is the wisdom of midwives, ranging from having a healthy pregnancy to learning about hospital and home birth. Topics included are C-sections, intervention, nutrition, fertility, circumcision, vaccinations, cloth diapers, fetal testing, and the list goes on. Since most women are still having hospital births, this information is especially important as it is information usually confined to the realms of midwifery. There are tips for pushing, nursing, having a natural birth in the hospital, and preparing for vaginal birth. This is a book for today's thinking woman. Everything you need to make informed decisions about birth is right here in this book.
