The Modern Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond

Product Information

The Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond class is an antenatal education course which is jointly run over four sessions in antenatal period and a reunion session to meet up with your babies in the postnatal period. How might parents affected by hEDS/HSD be supported to engage in evidence-based decision making about their maternity care? Expert author?: What is the expertise of the author and can you trust their advice? Look for books written from reliable sources of information, particularly if they are focused on a particular approach to childbirth. We recommend books written by medical or pregnancy experts or coaches. Whilst celebrity parent books can be helpful, ultimately they tend to be based on a personal experience. This interview is full of deep explorations around relationship; with self, with cycles, and with those who teach us. Enjoy !

We researched the pros and cons of each pregnancy book, including its format, the complexity of the information and the reputations of the authors. Finally we looked at which pregnancy books worked best for each scenario to bring you our final list of recommendations. About the author Some reviewers found the jovial writing style a little patronising, as it does assume very minimal knowledge about pregnancyVery factual, evidence-based, none of the patronising stuff a lot of pregnancy books have, and pretty balanced views on things too.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Lola871) Please note that we do not offer hypnosis but we do offerhypnobirthing education which teaches guided relaxation and breathing techniques. The management of hEDS/HSD in childbearing remains complex. Yet, considering the new approximate figure of 1 in 20 put forward for the proportion of pregnancies affected by hEDS/HSD, cases in maternity services should no longer be considered rare, only rarely diagnosed ( Pezaro et al, 2020). It is considered that the recognition of hEDS/HSD is now critical ( Tinkle, 2021). Though as outlined in our previous review, the role of the midwife in this context is not necessarily to diagnose cases of hEDS/HSD but to work in partnership with those affected as part of a multidisciplinary team in making evidenced-based care plans along with early and appropriate referrals ( Pezaro et al, 2018). Nevertheless, it may be useful for midwives to remain informed and alert to the possibility of many pregnancies occurring in people affected by hEDS/HSD who are as yet undiagnosed. Before joining the content team at Mumsnet, Jenny worked as a journalist for newspapers, radio, TV and b2b trades magazines for over a decade. She is also a bestselling sci-fi author (writing as J M Briscoe) and parenting blogger.

This interview was recorded nearly two years ago and with floods, and other events, it is only now we are airing it. Active Birth Workshop – A workshop for all those who are pregnant and their birth companion that will not only cover all of the basics of antenatal education and an active, informed birth but also give you both the space to prepare as a team and confidently plan for your baby’s birthing day. It's worth noting, however, that hypnobirthing does not guarantee a natural labour if that's what you want - unfortunately you can’t prepare for every eventuality and medical intervention is sometimes required. That said, using these techniques can help you feel calmer and more prepared about the prospect of giving birth.

There are some great options on this list, but if you’re looking for a great all-rounder that covers your entire pregnancy from conception to birth, The Positive Birth Book is a great choice. The use of the EDS Maternity Tool may support both parents and maternity staff in evidence-based decision making and care planning as part of a multidisciplinary approach

Covers a lot of ground - you may want something more focused on a specific area of pregnancy or childbirth Those left with chronic pelvic girdle pain (PGP) are at a significantly increased risk of suffering from anxiety and depression ( Siqueira-Campos et al, 2019). The management of this can be further complicated by emotional and behavioural responses to PGP ( Alappattu and Bishop, 2011), and fear avoidance beliefs, which may lead to worsening levels of pain tolerance ( Chang et al, 2007; Quartana et al, 2009; Alappattu and Bishop, 2011; Rashidi Fakari et al, 2018). Accordingly, multidisciplinary working with clinical psychology, psychiatry, pain management, physiotherapy, and rheumatology teams in line with summarised recommendations may be useful in the management of PGP ( Vleeming et al, 2008; Ali et al, 2020). Where PGP persists, last-line treatments may include intra-pelvic corticosteroid injection treatments ( Lindgren, 2020), and joint fusion ( Vleeming et al, 2008).
