The Expectant Parent's Guide to Preventing a Cesarean Section:

by Carl Jones

If I had to name three books expectant parents should read, this would be one of them.
Donald Creevy, M.D. Professor of Obstetrics

In this country one in four women--750,000 each year--undergo cesarean sections. Most suffer pain and disappointment . . . and search out ways to aviod the experience again. Filled with authoritative and practical information, this book points the way toward safe and positive vaginal delivery for both first-time and post-cesarean parents.

The Expectant Parent's Guide to Preventing a Cesarean Section details the full consequences of unnecessary cesareans--physical trauma to mother and baby, maternal-infant separation, increased risk of maternal illness and death, and greater difficulty in breastfeeding. Step-by-step procedures provide a compassionate, well-researched plan for cesarean prevention. You will learn exactly what safeguards to take during pregnancy and how to use the author's highly successful guided imagery techniques.
