Easing Labor Pain Book

The Complete Guide to a More Comfortable and Rewarding Birth

Easing Labor Pain By Adrienne B. Lieberman

For first-time pregnant women the fear of the unknown can be worrisome to the point of depression, stress, and panic. This book helps any pregnant woman know that there are things she can do to subdue the pain of labor and actually make childbirth enjoyable.

Easing Labor Pain is a positive and encouraging guide to everything an expectant mother can do (from pregnancy through postpartum, but especially during labor) to make sure pain doesn't overshadow the joy of giving birth. It has information about breathing, massage, acupressure, biofeedback, epidurals and other anesthetics, and many other coping strategies.

You’ll learn the pros and cons of drugs and medical procedures used during labor and delivery. You’ll finish the book feeling good that you have all the information, techniques and exercises to make your labor and delivery as comfortable as possible.

The more options you have, the more your fear and worries will subside. For you will know that there are plenty of options – both for a natural childbirth and one with the use of pain medications. You’ll feel empowered knowing that all the information lies inside your head, rather than having to depend upon your doctor for information. And, let’s face it; it’s doubtful he or she will spend hours going over all your available options with you. There’s just not enough time.

Take things into your own hands and learn everything you can about easing your labor and delivery pains. That way, when the big day arrives you’ll have everything you need to make the most informed decision on what’s right for you.

Balanced, comprehensive, and authoritative, Easing Labor Pain is an indispensable handbook for expectant parents, childbirth educators, midwives, and other partners in the childbirth experience.
