Written on February 15, 2000 Summary: If you think you don't need a Doula, please read this. I just finished the book in two days which is an accomplishment with four children at home. EVERY expectant mother should read this book and let it open your eyes to the TREMENDOUS help a doula can be. Even the most skeptical mothers or partners will finish this book with a new sense of what a doula is and how her services should be in EVERY hospital and birthing center. I recommend it to everyone expecting even if you have never heard of a doula. There is an entire chapter deticated to the studies of how doulas shorten labor, enhance labor experiences, lessens c-sections, lessen post partum depression....and the list goes on and on. Inform yourself, inform your partner, this book is excellent.  Written on March 9, 1999 Summary: Mother's-to-be please take a look! any woman or couple who is expecting a baby should take the time to read this wonderful book, then check out the opportunities for labor assistance in their area. What a difference it can make in having a birth experience that you will look back on fondly. Written on January 6, 1999 Summary: The most up to date information about Doulas. I am a doula and the information that is contained in this book is informative and helps our clients learn about what we can and cannot do to help them. I feel that every mother should have a doula. Not because I am a Doula, but because I had a Doula myself. This book will let couples make informed decisions about having a doula at their birth. Written on November 10, 1997 Summary: A wonderful overview of how a doula can help you "Doula is a Greek word referring to an experienced woman who helps other women. The word has now come to mean a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and just after childbirth." That's how the authors of "Mothering the Mother" define a doula. Sound wonderful? After reading the book, you'll think so. "Mothering the Mother," written by childbirth authorities Marshall H. Klaus, M.D., John H. Kennell, M.D., (co-authors of "Parent-Infant Bonding") and Phyllis H. Klaus, M.Ed, C.S.W., is fascinating reading. The book explains the role of the doula, how she can support the mother and father during birth, and cites studies that document how birth with a doula improves outcomes in areas such as length of labor, rates of vaginal deliveries, the use of medications and other interventions. According to the authors, doulas shorten first-time labors by an average of two hours, decrease the chance of Cesarean section deliveries by 50 percent, decrease the need for pain medications, help fathers participate in the birth with confidence, increase success in breast-feeding. "Mothering the Mother" follows the actual course of birth in various settings and includes photos of birthing women being assisted by fathers and doulas. The book shows readers how to achieve the benefits of having a doula, and how to find and evaluate a doula. Written on July 11, 1997 Summary: This is THE book for and about Doulas! I ordered this book from Amazon.com and read it cover to cover the day it arrivedl It is FULL of information about what Doulas can do for couples wanting to have a happy birth experience as well as how a Doula is a unique and incredibly important addition to to any happy childbirth experience. This book not only tells the reader the results of the research that's been done on how a Doula can help shorten labor and how a Doula can improve the feelings of the couple after the birth both to each other and the child, but it also explains exactly what a Doula does and what she ACTUALLY DOES for the couple during the birth.As a registered Doula working towards certification, I just can not say enough good things about this book...or about Amazon.com's service and I recommend both liberally whenever I get the chance. |
