| Summary: | "At last, here is a book on breech birth for parents, obstetricians, midwives and all who come into contact with women carrying breech babies. Benna Waites addresses the whole experience of breech from causes to turning techniques to the options for birth. It engages with the controversial debate on caesarean versus vaginal breech birth and provides a powerful critique of recent evidence which has led to an increase in caesarean section." "The book encourages parents to make an informed choice about the birth they want." "For professionals, this book is an essential resource on breech, deepening knowledge and encouraging a critical examination of their own approach to breech and improving the quality of care they are able to offer to parents of breech babies."--BOOK JACKET. |
