Revived childbirth
Hurry! Only 1 Left in Stock!
For the first time, the most famous book by French doctor Michel Odent – the story of the maternity ward in the Pithiviers hospital – was published in the USA in 1984 and later translated into 13 languages worldwide. Under Odent, naturalness and freedom became hospital practice; relying on physiology, the doctor and half a dozen midwives changed attitudes towards childbirth and practices around the world. And they continue to change them. Rooms with a home-like atmosphere, minimal interventions in the unconscious process of childbirth – a quiet revolution: the main protagonists in childbirth are the woman … and her child. At the center are the personal, not technical, aspects of childbirth.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers: parents expecting a child, midwives and doctors ready to reconsider commonly accepted approaches, medical students, doulas, and psychologists.
