Birth Right - Susan Ross

An insider's guide to getting the best for you and your baby in pregnancy and birth - by a midwife who knows it all.

When you are pregnant or thinking about it, you need a manual that reveals the secrets to a healthy, happy birth. It's all about making choices, says Susan Ross, an accredited midwife with 30 years' experience, who believes that many women risk their health and that of their babies by opting for medical intervention over natural birth.

'This book is what women have told me they want. They want honest information. They want facts. They want to be able to find their way around the political maze of childbirth options so that they can enjoy their pregnancy, labour and birth, and have confidence in their choice of caregiver and place of birth.'

'Birth Right' explains the many questions women need to ask long before their baby arrives. It includes case studies from parents, midwives and obstetricians from hospitals, birth centres and home births - all first hand experiences that will help you make informed choices in the most important and exciting time of your life. There's also invaluable advice on how to deal with doctors, health funds, hospitals and family members so that your pregnancy and birth are happy and healthy.
