Pain in childbirth.

Sheila Kitzinger describes pain and its control throughout the various stages of childbirth. She stresses the value of antenatal preparation as well as the need for a supportive environment during the labour stages. All concerned--the porspective parents, doctors, midwives and any other personnel in a maternity unit should be educated to be able to provide such an environment.

Effects of induction on the mother-baby relationship.

Even though a minority of mothers and babies benefit from the sequence of events which starts with induction, continues with active obstetric intervention, and culminates with the baby in the intensive care unit, it is questionable whether this justifies submitting the majority of women to what many of these mothers described as the misery of enforced separation from their infants, and whether we should permit modern technological innovations in the culture of childbirth to risk interfering with the basic human patterns of attachment between parents and their young.
