In her new book, Rediscovering Birth, Sheila Kitzinger explores the universal experience of pregnancy, the physical and spiritual experience of giving birth, the role of the midwife, the bonds that are traditionally formed between mothers and midwives and ideas about birth in many different cultures and she asks how we can learn from them.Beautifully illustrated throughout, her new book is a reliable source of information for pregnant women, anyone who is thinking of having a baby, and students of the interaction between all those involved with birth.
