The complete book of pregnancy and childbirth (1984)
The complete book of pregnancy and childbirth is a 1984 childbirth book written by Sheila Kitzinger.
Kitzinger provides candid information about what mothers need to know, ranging from ways to navigate the technical landscape of hospital births to making the personal choices of a water home birth. Her "empowerment language" no longer assumes there is a marriage, replacing references to "a man" with "birthing partner." Discussing "birth rooms" rather than delivery rooms, she encourages readers to construct a birth plan, make their own space, and choose an effective birth companion.
