The Baby Business : What's happened to maternity care in New Zealand?

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Lynda Exton

All is not well with New Zealand maternity care. We have one of the highest newborn death rates in the developed world, the caesarean section operation rate has doubled since the late 1980's, and the number of breastfed babies today is around the lowest it has been since 1990. GP Obstetrician Lynda Exton outlines the back ground of maternity care in NZ, analyses the changes over recent decades and argues that there is a clear link between these worrying trends and government policies that have forced family doctors out of maternity care.

The classic book on home birth is now available in a new edition, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives.
Included are stories of working with Amish women, shedding light on a different culture with a similar appreciation for natural childbirth. Ina May also provides new information about potentially dangerous techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, as well as the latest findings about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Improved instructions for handling breech births are also given. When the first edition of Spiritual Midwifery was published in 1976, it introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the field of midwifery.
