Summary:
"In this revised edition of Rediscovering Birth, Kitzinger explores the universal experience of pregnancy and
childbirth
and looks closely at feelings and behaviour in pregnancy, the physical and spiritual experience of giving birth, the role of the midwife, the bonds that are traditionally formed between mother and midwife and ideas about birth in many different cultures, and she asks how we can learn from them."--P. [4] of cover.
