Midwifery; Complementary medicine

Exploring one of the most prevalent yet contentious subjects in contemporary maternity care, Denise Tiran's new book on postdates pregnancy balances discussion of midwifery care and the obstetric management of women who are overdue.

The book gives comprehensive coverage of a range of complementary therapies and natural remedies and how they may be effective in facilitating spontaneous onset of labour. It also takes into consideration the debate on the safety and effectiveness of natural remedies which women often self-administer.

Illustrated with case studies and referenced to authoritative review papers, Complementary Therapies for Postdates Pregnancy is a must-have guide for midwives and maternity professionals.

Reviews for Complementary Therapies for Postdates Pregnancy

Dr Denise Tiran has once again written a must have book for health professional's wishing to safely integrate complementary therapies within post dates midwifery care. -- Claire Mayhead, Midwife and owner of Serenity Birth Therapies An essential read, not only for midwives and clinicians but for parents navigating through their pregnancy with hopes and plans for birth. Denise Tiran clearly narrates the pressure women face in relation to post dates pregnancy and challenges what has become normal practice. This book promotes reflection and discussion whilst also welcoming options and benefits of complementary therapies to enable choice and a less medicalised approach. With this book, we as professionals can return to being 'with women' to empower and enabling choice to protect normal birth and positive birth experiences. -- Nicola Rai, nurse and midwife
