Congratulations! You are about to embark on a journey that is both intensely personal and yet connects you to all mothers since time immemorial. Bringing a child into the world is a life-changing experience, and this book will help you to have a safe and happy pregnancy and postpartum year.
No one goes into a pregnancy thinking they are going to have problems, but sometimes you’re suddenly faced with unexpected issues and decisions which you feel unprepared to make. The information in this book helps you understand your choices so you can work with your obstetrician to have the kind of pregnancy you want for yourself.
After delivering 6, 000 babies with no maternal mortalities, I want to share what I have learned with women and their families. I developed my methods by listening to my patients and learned that while there are universal traits to pregnancy and childbirth, each experience is as unique as the woman having it. In this book, I share with you my perspective on how you can make choices which can increase your safety and happiness in your own pregnancy.
In this book, I share with you how and why to create your own unique ‘flight plan, ‘ which includes your own personalized prenatal, birth, and postpartum plan. With this information, you will gain the confidence to participate with your doctor in making the best choices for you in your pregnancy, your birth, and the first year of your baby’s life.
You are in charge of your safe pregnancy. Let’s make sure it’s the best experience it can be.
Про автора
One of the things I learned as a medical student and resident is that in obstetrics you can have a lot to say about your outcome. In other words, you can pick your outcome much of the time-not all of the time-but certainly about 90 percent of the time. Pregnant women so often feel they shouldn’t question the expert, the obstetrician. My goal is to provide pregnant women a safe arena where they can freely ask questions about their choices in their pregnancy and delivery. I can’t offer you medical advice, but I can share with you my experiences with the 6000 babies I delivered.In today’s medical environment, it is avery difficult to raise questions about your choices in your health care. I want to encourage women to have the confidence to trust in themselves and the decisions they make about their care.My patients helped me gain valuable insight into what turns a high-risk pregnancy into a low-risk one, and how to keep a low-risk pregnancy low risk. You won’t find this information in medical texts. I have learned a lot over my years of delivering babies and I want to share this information with you. Your safety as a patient may well depend upon your knowing the things I talk about in this book. My goal is for every pregnant woman to have access to the kinds of information needed to guide her pregnancy and delivery towards the best possible outcome for herself and her family.
