Pregnancy and Childbirth: Development, Birth Process and Methods

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pregnancy and Childbirth are at once common and miraculous. From the development of a baby to the birth process, the anticipation and arrival of a baby is an event universally celebrated. This book examines both the scientific and anthropologic elements of pregnancy and childbirth. From a biological standpoint, the process of embryo and fetus development, the stages of childbirth, and the physiological changes of the mother and the science of obstetrics are discussed. Anthropologically speaking, the various means of childbirth and the methods used to facilitate the process as well the role of men and medical or emotional assistants are considered.
