Product Description: One of
the most celebrated British authors on the sociological and
anthropological aspects of birth, breast feeding, and early
parenthood, Kitzinger has completely revised her classic Complete
Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth (LJ 3/1/81) to guide readers
seeking a woman-centered birth experience through the newly
researched alternatives now available. Organizing her book into five
major sections (Early Weeks, Physical and Emotional Changes,
Anticipating the Birth, the Experience of Birth, and You and Your
Newborn), 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."

Product Description: "A
'must-have' guide for the devastated couple dealing with the many
questions and fears that occur with a subsequent pregnancy."
--Candace Hurley, Executive Director/Founder, Sidelines National
Support Network
For a woman who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the
death of an infant, conceiving another child can be fraught with
mixed emotions. This guide, filled with up-to-date medical
information and written by a woman who herself experienced a
successful pregnancy after the loss of her first baby, can help
women cope with their anxiety. It offers guidance for women asking
such questions as: * Why did it happen--and how can I make sure it
doesn't happen again? * Will my next pregnancy be considered
high-risk? * How long should I wait before getting pregnant again? *
What can I expect at prenatal exams? * Will I ever be able to love
another baby as much as I love the one I lost?
Pregnancy after a loss can be a time of great emotional
upheaval--but also, a time of healing and hope. With this sensible,
sensitive guide, women can put their minds at ease--and learn to
look forward to the future as they make peace with the past.
"Compassionate and comprehensive." --Perry-Lynn Moffitt, coauthor of
A Silent Sorrow: Pregnancy Loss
* Contains up-to-the-minute medical advice and information
* Unlike other books about pregnancy loss that focus solely on the
grieving process, Pregnancy After a Loss helps women to
prepare, both psychologically and physically, for a new pregnancy
