The Natural Way: A Complete Guide for Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798373919494)

A natural, non-medicalized complete approach to pregnancy, birth and early motherhood by Registered Nurse and mother, Susanne Green.

This guide is essential for expectant mothers, providing invaluable information on what to do, and what not to do, based on research, best practice, and Susanne's own experiences carrying and birthing two children. Common myths surrounding childbirth are dispelled and tips on how to avoid invasive and potentially dangerous medical practices are provided.

Written in four essential parts: preparation for the birth, the labor, postpartum care, and breastfeeding. Contains important information on fetal positioning, use of rebozo, active birth, cloth diapering, postpartum self-care, and many more to have a baby naturally with minimal or no medical interventions. Checklists are provided to make every expectant and new mother's life easier.

The Natural Way is a must-read, particularly for the newly expectant and for mothers who have already had children with difficulties arising from mainstream, medicalized births. Having a natural birth allows a mother to heal and recover faster, better bond with their baby and minimise complications that can arise from the use of artificial drugs and surgical procedures during labor and birth.
