This warm, authoritative, and irreplaceable guide completely updates the authors' earlier book, <I>Mothering the Mother</I>, and adds much new and important research. In addition to basic advice on finding and working with a doula, the authors show how a doula reduces the need for cesarean section, shortens the length of labor, decreases the pain medication required, and enhances bonding and breast feeding. The authors, world-renowned authorities on childbirth with combined experience of over 100 years working with laboring women, have made their book indispensable to every woman who wants the healthiest, safest, and most joyful possible birth experience. <P>A Merloyd Lawrence Book 745258 24 11 2002 The Doula Book: How a Trained Labor Companion Can Help You Have a Shorter, Easier, and Healthier Birth total:114|5:29|4:55|3:27|2:3|1:0| 114 452 180 21 759149 0738206091 9780738206097 114 21 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178118683m/759149.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/759149.The_Doula_Book_How_a_Trained_Labor_Companion_Can_Help_You_Have_a_Shorter_Easier_and_Healthier_Birth 4 0 false Sun Dec 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 20:58:52 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 08:05:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 759149 0738206091 9780738206097 114 21 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178118683m/759149.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/759149.The_Doula_Book_How_a_Trained_Labor_Companion_Can_Help_You_Have_a_Shorter_Easier_and_Healthier_Birth 5 0 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 08:38:31 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 26 16:00:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 759149 0738206091 9780738206097 114 21 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178118683m/759149.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/759149.The_Doula_Book_How_a_Trained_Labor_Companion_Can_Help_You_Have_a_Shorter_Easier_and_Healthier_Birth 5 0 false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 11:17:20 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 12:51:45 -0700 2009
