Book Reviews of Spiritual Midwifery
Book Review: A midwife's handbook
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a good introduction to midwifery. It is also a great book of inspiring stories for mothers considering home birth or unmediated birthing. The language in the book is easy to understand and places birthing and its phases into easily understood wording. She refers to the vaginal area as the Puss. Not my reference but interesting and non-clinical none the less, she explains that she uses terms that are comfortable to her and that are easily understood by mothers and that midwives should do the same for her their practices.
Summary of Spiritual Midwifery
Here is the 4th edition of the classic book on home birth that introduced a whole generation of women to the concept of natural childbirth. Back again are even more amazing birthing tales, including those from women who were babies in earlier editions and stories about Old Order Amish women attended by the Farm midwives.Also new is information about the safety of techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, information on postpartum depression and maternal death, and recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives.
From the amazing birthing tales to care of the newborn, Spiritual Midwifery is still one of the best books an expectant mother could own. Includes resources for doulas, childbirth educators, birth centers, and other organizations and alliances dedicated to improving maternity care at home and in hospitals.
