Birthing Your Placenta

Exploring the often-overlooked topic of placental birth, this book presents three distinct approaches to its delivery within maternity care. It highlights research indicating significant benefits for the baby when a slower method is employed and advocates for a natural approach for healthy women. By detailing the evidence behind each option and discussing the broader context of these decisions, the authors aim to empower women in their choices. Renowned researchers Dr. Nadine Edwards and Dr. Sara Wickham provide an updated perspective on this essential aspect of childbirth.
