POLLY'S BIRTH BOOK
POLLY'S BIRTH BOOK:
OBSTETRICS FOR THE HOME
A Manual About Natural Childbirth at Home


In 1979, Polly Block, a midwife who is widely known for her contribution to the rebirth of midwifery, wrote a book called (A SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE: CHILDBIRTH AT HOME). In the first few months of it's first printing, this book pre-sold over 500 orders from across the nation, for a book that was still in the author's mind!
A comprehensive manual (533 pages of text, 71 illustrations), is written in understandable, layman's language and is fulfilling the obstetrical needs of hundreds of thousands of parents, midwives, and doctors.

This book professionally addresses in detail:

The prudent use of herbs instead of drugs throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
A problem-prevention program for pre-natal care.
The use of acupressure and hydrotherapy in a pregnancy and childbirth.
How to screen for low-risk mothers who want a safe home birth.
How to prevent or recognize complications and deal with them in the moment.
When to transport if the need should arise.
The legal and moral issues.

This book also doubles as a training manual for the serious midwife, and as such is in demand by schools for midwives throughout North America, India and Russia.
