The third edition of The Labor Progress Handbook builds on
the success of first two editions and remains an unparalleled
resource on simple, non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat
difficult labor. Retaining the hallmark features of previous
editions, the book is replete with illustrations showing position,
movements, and techniques and is logically organized to facilitate
ease of use.
This edition includes two new chapters on third and fourth stage
labor management and low-technology interventions, a complete
analysis of directed versus spontaneous pushing, and additional
information on massage techniques. The authors have updated
references throughout, expertly weaving the highest level of
evidence with years of experience in clinical practice.
The Labor Progress Handbook continues to be a must-have
resource for those involved in all aspects of birth by providing
practical instruction on low-cost, low-risk interventions to manage
and treat dystocia.
