Official Lamaze Guide helps women make informed choices


Lamaze International, the leading childbirth education organization in North America, announces the publication of its first and only pregnancy and childbirth book. The Official Lamaze Guide: Giving Birth With Confidence presents childbearing as an elegant, simple, and healthy process instead of an experience fraught with danger, and provides parents with the tools they need to make informed choices that result in happy and fulfilling birth experiences.

Authors Judith Lothian, RN, PhD, LCCE, FACCE, and Charlotte De Vries reveal how simply pregnancy and birth unfold when allowed to progress naturally. The book encourages women to have confidence in their bodies’ natural ability to give birth, and move past routine medical interventions and into the natural rhythm of pregnancy.

The Official Lamaze Guide discusses everything from pre-conception to the first weeks of being a mother. In addition, parents learn how to choose a caregiver and birth site, as well as practical strategies for communicating and negotiating with health care providers.

The Official Lamaze Guide is designed to aid childbirth educators by reinforcing what is taught in the classroom about finding comfort in labor, and creating a birth plan and baby plan. It is designed to work in conjunction with—or to encourage participation in—childbirth education classes. Learn more online.
