The art of support during birth

Second Edition

Andrea Robertson

This best-selling midwifery textbook, now in its second edition, explains how birth companions can provide the best for labouring women. Written in an accessible, friendly and practical style, it contains proven strategies for

• Creating safe birth environments that encourage natural instinctive behaviours
• Enabling better birth outcomes though supporting, not disturbing, physiological responses
• Using self help strategies and low tech solutions for easing labour pain.
• Acting as an advocate, working with partners, improving communication.

This second edition updates and expands on these themes, adding a new chapter on keeping birth normal and numerous new illustrations. As essential text book for all midwives, students, childbirth educators and doulas, it has been widely praised as "the midwife's Bible".
