Synopsis
Pregnancy and child-rearing experts Dr. William Sears and Martha Sears, R.N., have written a helpful, illuminating guide to having the best birth possible. Separated into three sections, "Preparing for Birth," "Easing Pain in Labor--What You Can Do," and "Experiencing Birth," the authors share a wealth of information about everything related to labor. From choosing to give birth in the hospital or at home, to understanding when caesarian sections are actually necessary, any questions the reader might have will be answered with care. Topics include "Choosing Your Birth Team," "Fear--Labor's Foe," and "Prelabor Signs," along with B&W line drawings, sample birth plans, birth stories, and references and resources. Other titles by the Searses include THE BABY BOOK and THE BREASTFEEDING BOOK.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Few moments in life are as memorable as your baby's birth. Over the past thirty years we have delivered seven babies of our own, assisted at the birth of our eighth child, our daughter by adoption, and been involved with more than a thousand births in a professional capacity, Bill as a pediatrician and occasionally Martha as a support person."
Industry Reviews
"This guide will do more for new parents than a pacifier will for a newborn. It is a comprehensive, soothing work which will ease the fears and anxieties that explode during a pregnancy, especially during the last trimester."
