Birth Crisis

Written by a leading expert in the field. Sheila Kitzinger is "the Earth Mother, or Birth Mother of the nation. If Britain is now one of the most progressive countries in obstetric practice, it is largely due to her." - according to Polly Toynbee in The Guardian

Activist and academic, Sheila founded the Birth Crisis Network for women who have suffered traumatic births (and advertises her books on the website)

There is growing concern about the use of interventions in childbirth and a move, endorsed by government, away from a hospitalized setting. Also you can tell ''good relationship with midwife'' is a hot topic because it was picked up in the Labour manifesto - first mention ever for midwifery perhaps?
