IN THE SPIRIT OF HOMEBIRTH: MODERN WOMEN, AN ANCIENT CHOICE
Book ID/图书代码： 12070015B77268
English Summary/英文概要： In the Spirit of Homebirth collects stories that celebrate the beauty and power of giving birth. Here are women from indigenous communities, of diverse socioeconomic classes and religions, in urban and rural settings, and the stories as well of family members and friends who witness and share the experience of homebirth with them. Partners describe the awe of watching a loved one bring new life into the world, children write sweetly about getting a baby brother or sister, and midwives and doulas tell us what it is like to aid women on their journeys.
In the Spirit of Homebirth presents birth as a physical action as well as a sacred act, an expression of deep love and of belief in the power of the human spirit. Homebirth is a choice, and In the Spirit of Homebirth tells us why women from all walks of life and their families make this choice today when they have the right to give birth as they wish. In the Spirit of Homebirth presents homebirth, not as an archaic practice but as a remarkably contemporary expression of a long tradition and a profoundly empowering and joyous event.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书收集了那些赞美生育的美与力量的故事。书中的女子可能来自当地社区、也可能有不同的社会、经济背景或者宗教信仰，可能来自城市，也可能来自乡村，故事里也包括了家庭成员和朋友们，他们见证了这段在家中分娩的经历。丈夫们怀着敬畏看着自己心爱的人将一条新生命带来这个人世，孩子们为自己的弟弟或者妹妹写下满怀着柔情的字句，还有那些助产士和稳婆也讲述了她们的工作。
本书将分娩作为一个身体的行为，更是一个神圣的举动，这是一种人类灵魂表达爱意与信任的方式。在家分娩是一种选择，而本书就要讲述为什么来自各行各业的产妇和她们的家庭在今日社会有权利选择她们想要分娩方式。本书展现了在家分娩是一种对于长期维持的传统的一种值得称颂的当代表现方法。(LYR)
