What is it about?
Explores how the fetal and maternal bodies work together to influence the working of the uterus and how the baby twists and turns though the problematic human pelvis. Conventional obstetric texts refer to the fetus as the 'passenger', and to the mother mostly as the possessor of the 'powers'. This book gives them a far more active role in labour.
