The Caesarean

An important read for women having babies and birth professionals. This book stresses the life saving wonder of the ceasarean section but also explores the possible implications of overuse of this procedure when birth could be allowed to progress naturally. This is a book that is sure to have elicit a strong response from those who read it, whether they be a woman who has chosen elective C-secition or one who wishes to avoid it at all costs. A worth while read.

Michel Odent is an inspiration and I have been lucky enough to study with him. He speaks so much sense and with a lot of passion. If only all the obstetricians and maternity workers around the world had his vision and understood childbirth as well as he does, the world would be a much better place.

I bought this book before attending a doula course with Dr Michel Odent. His knowledge and simplicity of pregnancy and childbirth is inspiring. I recommend this book to anyone interested in childbirth or supporting those who are pregnant.

amazing! must read!
