Our Bodies, Our Babies
In this book, Kerreen Reiger traces the struggle of Australian women and others to change approaches to childbirth, to claim their right to choices in childbirth and to educate themselves about birth and breastfeeding. She explores the movement which radically changed out maternity care practices, allowing fathers to participate in the birth of their children and babies to 'room-in' with their mothers.
This absorbing story draws on interviews with mothers, midwives and doctors, and on archival material from relevant women's organisations.
