Showing results for "Das Labor" in Parenting & Families

Now, in audio for the first time, The Birth Partner remains the definitive guide to helping a woman through labor and birth. The Birth Partner includes thorough information on preparing for labor and knowing when it has begun; normal labor and how to help the woman every step of the way; epidurals and other medications for labor; pitocin and other means, including natural ones, to induce or speed up labor; non-drug techniques for easing labor pain; and more.

Why are so many women told that their labour must be started artificially? And what does the evidence actually say about waiting for labour to begin in its own time? In 'In Your Own Time', midwife, researcher, and author Dr Sara Wickham explores one of the most important – and increasingly common – interventions in modern maternity care: the induction of labour. Drawing on decades of experience in midwifery, research, and education, Dr Wickham examines the evidence behind due dates, induction policies and the management of late pregnancy.

As the expectant mother's due date draws near, there's more to consider than just having a bag packed and a route mapped to the hospital. The experts at The National Parenting Center want you to be well-informed about delivery methods and different types of labor such as premature labor, false labor, and, of course, the real thing. Fetal monitoring is discussed, as well as post dates, birth control after delivery, and more.
