This is a most current report detailing the hormonal process of labor and birth in conjunction with modern maternity practices.
It has evidence based research with recommendations for what women need in order to labor and birth physiologically. As well as what interferes with achieving this.
For anyone interested in how they can best support having a normal birth without routine interventions and procedures this booklet explains how to do just that.
Hats off to Dr. Sarah Buckley for putting this all together.
