Aprašymas

Quality information on caesarean birth is essential.

Around 40 per cent of Australian babies are born by caesarean section - now a common part of childbirth, whether planned ahead or done as an emergency when pregnancy or labour takes an unexpected turn.

This book, written by one of Australia's leading obstetricians, traces how perceptions of caesarean birth have changed, with the focus today on outcomes, informed consent, understanding obstetric trauma and the rising incidence of obesity, diabetes and hypertension in pregnancy. New science about maternal and infant microbiomes adds to the changed birth landscape.

Caroline de Costa delivers answers for expectant parents that covers the latest research, explaining how and why caesareans are performed, their benefits and risks, and what the future holds for caesarean birth.
