Naturally, throughout time and the world over, women have chosen to walk, stand, squat, lie - to move their bodies freely and actively to find the most comfortable positions for labour and birth. It is only we in the west who have the extraordinary notion that a woman should lie on her back in a position that defies the laws of nature and gravity. With this book, you can learn to develop all your body's resources to deal with the instinctive experience of childbirth. It is also for partners, teachers, midwives and everyone involved, to help mothers get up off the delivery table and to bring back some of the common sense which has been overlooked by modern obstetrics. \"New Active Birth\" is the new and revised edition of Janet Balaskas' pioneering and acclaimed \"Active Birth\" covering over 180 clear black and white photographs and line drawings throughout.

It is an deal companion to your antenatal classes.Giving birth is an instinct - it happens when your baby is ready to leave the womb. For the majority of women, labour has the potential to progress normally with no complications. You may not need any help other than the space and privacy to get on with it, the loving presence of your chosen companion and the motherly care of a skilled midwife.However, birth is an unknown adventure and what will happen is unpredictable, so it's best to keep an open mind along with your dreams and strong intentions for your birth.
