Hey! Who’s Having This Baby Anyway: What Every Woman Must Know About Childbirth

In her explosive new book, Breck Hawk exposes how many pregnant women can avoid serious repercussions from the drugs and unnecessary medical interventions that are pushed on them while in labour simply by being aware of their basic patient rights and options. Hey! Who’s Having This Baby Anyway gives power back to mums-to-be and shows them how they can make themselves be heard! Let’s get this right out in the open: pregnant women have rights. They don’t suddenly turn into powerless little girls as soon as they get pregnant, who have to be shepherded, controlled and dictated to. Chapters that follow treat various subjects plainly and honestly and keep underscoring the concept of choice. She addresses types of caregivers, medications in labour, natural remedies and complementary methods of pregnancy and labour, homebirth, water birth, birth plans and breastfeeding. Several chapters conclude with helpful workbook pages for those kinesthetic learners who need to do to learn.
