Childbirth ought to be a natural experience for women, where women have control of their own bodies and Michel Odent has pioneered a number of practices that provide a setting for a woman to give birth her way. Practices such as providing homely birthing rooms, the first birthing pools, labour without drugs, giving the midwife a key role and a new style of antenatal education.

About the author (2005)

For over 40 years Michel Odent has been the world's 'birth guru', he has changed the way childbirth is conducted (initiating such natural birth techniques as birthing pools, labour without drugs and ensuring that the mother decides how she will give birth). He created the most famous maternity clinic in the world, Pithiviers Hospital in France, and has imbued a new attitude of genuine care to the way obstetricians and midwives approach childbirth.
