This author is a social anthropologist of birth, whose extensive international publications delve into the emotional journey of this major life experience. Discovering early in her career that social anthropology largely overlooked women's lives, she dedicated her research to uncovering what is essential in women's experiences, focusing on pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. Her work is informed by a vast global network of mothers and midwives, gleaned from extensive lecturing across diverse cultures and contexts, including unique perspectives from incarcerated women and those who have faced traumatic birth experiences.

Childbirth is one of the most important and powerful events in a woman's life - and yet many women look back on it as an ordeal. Sheila Kitzinger, acknowledged around the world as an expert in the psychological, social and physiological aspects of birth, has rewritten her first book for today's women. Herself a mother of five, all born at home, she believes that birth can be a positive and deeply satisfying experience. She co-created the teacher training scheme of the National Childbirth Trust, and was the first person to introduce couple's classes, pregnancy and postnatal counselling, and birth companions to give personal support and help in childbirth. Written with warmth, elegance and understanding, THE NEW EXPERIENCE OF CHILDBIRTH explores emotional as well as the physical elements in childbirth and is essential reading for every mother- (and father-) to be.
From conception through to birth, Sheila Kitzinger describes what to expect and prepares parents-to-be for the physical changes ahead. This updated edition includes information on Caesarean births, the birthing sling, sex during pregnancy and nutrition
