Easy Labor: Every Woman's Guide to Choosing Less Pain and More Joy During Childbirth

A comprehensive guide to pain relief options during childbirth.

By William Camann MD and Kathryn Alexander, MA.

It's hard to imagine childbirth ever being easy, but this guide will point soon-to-be mothers in the right direction. In a straightforward manner, the authors discuss medical and non-medical approaches to dealing with pain during the most physically painful time of a woman's life. Dr. Camann brings more than 20 years of obstetric and anesthesia experience to the task, providing invaluable advice for mothers, especially first-timers. The authors hope that by moving the focus away from the intense pain, a mother can experience the joy that comes from childbirth. Practicality is paramount, as is ample preparation prior to entering the delivery room. They assert that each woman's decision about her labor is a personal choice, and each experience will be different—as such, they discuss all possibilities. Pain medications, water birth, natural birth and Cesarean delivery are covered in detail, as well as what to expect, what others have experienced and how to be prepared. Easy Labor will ease the fears about childbirth and prepare the expectant mother for the joy that comes with the miracle of life.
