Special Delivery affirms that birth is normal and that all births are different. It covers homebirth, hospital birth, and birth center birth, with information on the physical, emotional, and spiritual elements of birth; tools for handling labor, nutrition, and exercises; preparation for birth and labor; emergencies and complications; care of the newborn; and post-delivery care of the mother. This is an easy to read book, full of pictures, illustrations, and personal stories balanced by the advice and suggestions of the author who is a midwife, childbirth educator, mother, teacher, and founder and head of the national organization Informed Birth and Parenting.
