Book Childbirth (set of 2 books)
This is an automatically translated description
For the first time, the most famous book by French doctor Michel Auden, the history of the maternity ward at the Petit Hospital, was published in 1984 in the United States and later translated into 13 languages. Under Auden, naturalness and freedom became hospital practice; relying on physiology, the doctor and half a dozen midwives changed attitudes and practices around the world. And they continue to do so. Wards with a homely atmosphere, minimal interference in the unconscious process of childbirth - a quiet revolution: the main actors in childbirth are a woman and her baby. The focus is on personal, not technical aspects of childbirth.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers: parents who are expecting a child, obstetricians and doctors who are ready to reconsider conventional approaches, medical students, doulas and psychologists.
Book 2. Basic needs of a woman in childbirth
A brief description of the philosophy and approach to childbirth by the famous doctor and scientist Michel Auden. The prerequisite for a safe childbirth is not technology, but attention to the key needs of a woman. A sense of security, privacy, silence, dimmed light - these are things that she is almost always deprived of. When parents are aware of these basic principles and midwives strictly adhere to them, childbirth is transformative for both mother and child. The practical recommendations of midwife Ruth Ehrhardt are a minimum of what a pregnant woman should know before giving birth and what a specialist assisting in childbirth should provide.
For parents expecting a child, for midwives and doctors who are ready to reconsider conventional approaches, medical students, doulas and psychologists.
