Jean Sutton
“How often as midwives, are we faced with a problem that we feel we should be able to fix, but for which we can find no help in our books or protocols?” In Let Birth Be Born Again Jean Sutton, co-author of Optimal Foetal Positioning, presents information that will help midwives restore birth to its rightful place as a safe, simple and exciting family event.
The topics she covers include:
- An Overview of Normal Birth
- The Anatomy and Physiology of the Maternal Pelvis and the Foetal Head
- Antenatal Care
- Occipito-posterior Positions
- Positions, Protocols and Pain Relief
- Ideas for Those Times when Things Go Wrong
Sutton says “Most women, mothers and midwives have deep inside them the ‘women’s wisdom’ of generations gone before. It tells us that what is happening is not right, and makes us uncomfortable as we carry out the protocols laid down for us.” Let Birth Be Born Again helps us rediscover this hidden wisdom.
