The Politics of Birth by Sheila Kitzinger
Explores ways in which we learn about birth, how we talk and feel about it, assumptions that professional caregivers may make, and the roles and skills of midwives. This book contains topics that include home birth and water birth; the use of drugs in childbirth; and, obstetric and nursing interventions which are often used routinely.

They include The New Pregnancy and Childbirth, Breastfeeding and, most recently, Rediscovering Birth.
