Caesarean Birth in Britain presents expectant parents, educators and health professionals with the facts and figures, and documents a number of important changes which have occurred since the original Caesarean Birth in Britain was published in 1993. It traces the development of the operation up to the present day and gives expectant mothers a clear explanation of what the operation entails. In addition there are chapters advising parents, teachers and midwives on how to cope with a caesarean and on ways of avoiding an unnecessary operation.
