Description

Provides fresh insights and new information on the subject, offering guidance to childbearing couples, educators, health professionals, and scholars who value the natural path of childbirth. Cohen's intimate writing style presents a compendium of knowledge on childbirth in the fashion of a "personal letter". Her aim is to lower America's alarming reliance on caesarean section, which is currently at 25 percent of all births, and to return the responsiblity for childbirth to women by encouraging them to choose the kind of birthing experience they wish to have. In addition to caesarean section, Cohen discusses many other interventions performed on women during pregnancy and childbirth - such as foetal monitoring and routinized hospital procedures.

Author Biography:

NANCY WAINER COHEN founded CSEC, Inc., the first and largest cesarean prevention organization in the country, in 1973. Since 1972, she has counseled thousands of women in the areas of cesarean prevention and VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean--an acronym she coined). She continues individual counseling and also speaks throughout the country to pregnant women, childbirth educators, midwives, health professionals, and consumers. Ms. Wainer Cohen is the co-author of Silent Knife: Cesarean Prevention and Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (Bergin & Garvey, 1983).
