The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia PDF

The third edition of The Labor Progress Handbook builds on the success of first two editions and remains an unparalleled resource on simple, non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor.  Retaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the book is replete with illustrations showing position, movements, and techniques and is logically organized to facilitate ease of use.

This edition includes two new chapters on third and fourth stage labor management and low-technology interventions, a complete analysis of directed versus spontaneous pushing, and additional information on massage techniques. The authors have updated references throughout, expertly weaving the highest level of evidence with years of experience in clinical practice.

The Labor Progress Handbook continues to be a must-have resource for those involved in all aspects of birth by providing practical instruction on low-cost, low-risk interventions to manage and treat dystocia.

As an obstetrics provider, this is an excellent manual for helping deliveries progress naturally and decreasing your cesarean section rate. The book makes great suggestions for encouraging labor progress with position changes, etc before proceeding to medical interventions that also carry greater risk. Evidence-based with excellent references after each chapter. Perfect for anyone involved in the care of women during labor & delivery, including OB/GYN's, Midwives, MD's, RN's, and Doulas.

I am a birth doula and I just finished reading through this book. I cannot believe how much information is in this book! It is well organized and provides evidence based ways to promote a "normal" labor. Though it was written for care providers, I can see the information in this book greatly helping me in future births. Not only do I have a greater understanding of what the nurses, midwives, and doctors are can do, but I can implement a lot of the interventions as well- such as knowing which positions help turn a baby who is OP. And when an intervention is beyond my scope, I can still explain to the family (if needed) how the intervention is designed to help.

The only reason I decided on a 4-star rating is for the Kindle version of this book. There were a few minor typos and grammatical errors. None of them made the material unreadable, but it was annoying.
