Book
The Heart in the Womb ‘An exploration of the roots of love and social cohesion’.
Modern-day life and our highly stressed, “risk-averse” society has led to a medicalised, fearful model of childbirth, one that has stripped the process of its wondrous magic. In this groundbreaking book, consultant obstetrician Dr Amali Lokugamage discusses ways in which every woman can aim to give birth in the most natural, supportive way possible, and looks at the wider implications for society at large.
This book includes a foreword by Dr Luke Zander (FRCGP), founder of the multidisciplinary Forum on Maternity and the Newborn at the Royal Society of Medicine, and advisor to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Health, for its report on maternity services.
