"Giving birth with confidence"--Cover.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-296) and index.

Having a safe, healthy birth -- The history of birth: back to the future -- You're pregnant! -- Choosing a caregiver and birth site -- Moving through pregnancy -- Preparing for labor and birth -- The simple story of birth -- Keeping your birth safe and healthy -- Finding comfort in labor -- Birth plans and baby plans -- Getting the safe, healthy birth you want: communication, negotiation, and decision-making -- Greeting your newborn -- Early parenting.

Lamaze's vision for the future is that formal childbirth education, in person and online, should start early in pregnancy. In the second edition of The Official Lamaze Guide, the authors share Lamaze's belief that preparing for birth and becoming a mother takes all of pregnancy, not just six weeks of formal classes at the end of the third trimester.
