The Babymoon Experience order quantity

NZ$ 39.00 each
Paperback
Author: Caroline Deacon
In Stock: 1
Becoming a mother is probably the most life-changing experience any woman goes through and the first weeks after giving birth is a period of huge adjustment for both mother and baby. Many cultures recognise this with a period of 'lying in' but in the West we have lost this, pressuring women to get 'back to normal; as soon as possible after birth. We need to rediscover the art of mothering the new mother. We expect new mothers to carry on as before, as quickly as possible, and in minimising the time they need to recover from the birth and get to know their babies, we trivialise the event. Not surprising then that ten percent of women in the UK have severe postnatal depression and many more feel they 'can't cope'. NCT counsellor, psychologist and bestselling author Caroline Deacon explores how we can prepare for, and enjoy, an ideal babymoon and make the most of this most precious and vital time. The book offers a reassuring, affirming, ... more

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Mary Rose Maccoll

There is a secret war going on in Australia. It is a war of technology versus nature; of 'mechanics' against 'organics'. On one side is the traditional medical establishment and the obstetricians; on the other are midwives and natural birth practitioners. Besieged by options and conflicting opinions, mothers-to-be are caught in the middle and seeking to make the best decision for one of the most important experiences in their lives. The battleground for this war is complex and plays out in hospitals and birth centres around the country. Mary-Rose MacColl navigates the difficult and ethically charged path between the 'mechanic' and 'organic' approaches and proposes that a solution might be somewhere in between. Based on extensive national research and interviews with mothers and maternity care clinicians, The Birth Wars looks at the last century of birth in Australia and considers the current highly contentious climate around pregnancy ... more

What is the best way to give birth? Some would argue 'naturally'. But, as this wonderfully readable, page-turningly encyclopaedic history of the subject makes clear, ever since man - or woman - stood up, some kind of human intervention has been necessary to aid the process. It is just a question of what...Tina Cassidy is an experienced journalist who became obsessed by the subject of birth after having her son George in an emergency C-section. Were the doctors right? Did she had to go through what she did? Using her honed research skills, she set out on a quest through the libraries and hospitals of the world to find some answers. The result is a book that will open the eyes of even the most informed experts on the subject.
