This is an automatically translated description

French doctor Michel Auden's most famous book, History of the Maternity Unit at Piteville Hospital, was first published in 1984 in the United States and subsequently 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.
