Editorial Reviews for The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia
|
Dystocia or failure to progress in labor is the main reason for cesarean deliveries. The second edition of this successful text focuses on simple non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor. It describes positions, movements and techniques based on principles of anatomy, physiology and psychology of childbirth.
The Labor Progress Handbook is organized by stage of labor for easy reference, enabling the care giver to quickly identify appropriate low cost, low risk interventions and treat dystocia effectively, at an early stage before it becomes severe. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes a new chapter on assessing progress in labor, together with new sections on managing labor pain, normal labor and additional positions and maneuvers. The rationale for all techniques is included based on the authors' clinical experience and wherever possible on the underlying evidence base.
* New edition of essential resource for anyone caring for women in labor
* Brings Together a wealth of evidence-based information and clinical expertise
* 'Focuses on non-invasive techniques to assist the progress of labor
* Emphasis on maternal comfort, support and safety
* Encourages thoughtful, evidence-based diagnosis and intervention
* Contains clear and simple illustrations, which complement the text
From Reviews:
'The focus of support, position, maternal comfort, and safety is one that should be used by anyone caring for laboring women. It encourages thoughtful diagnosis and intervention in an ordered and sensible manner.'
--Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing (on the first edition)

Summary: A Birth Junkies Joy, Labor!
Comment: Having children and reading anything about pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum has lead me to investigate labor, especially during my fifth pregnancy. I have also sat in with a few friends and family members during labor and really wanted to read more. This was a great book and I'm sure I will continue to look back to it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great info
Comment: I own the last edition and find it invaluable in my practice. Can't wait to see what's new and exciting here
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Handbook!
Comment: The Labor Progress Handbook, though a bit pricey, is an excellent book. It contains a tons of labor information and is complete with many illustrations. It's a nice compact size, which makes it easy to carry with you (great for doulas, midwives, etc.). I love it!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Labor Progress Handbook
Comment: This book is wonderfully full of information, however, as it is called a "handbook", I expected it to be more concise, and so more quickly usable in a labor setting - more of a quick reference book. It is more of a textbook than a handbook. I think I've read everything that Penny Simkin has had published. I am a fan of her writings, just disappointed that this was not more concise.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must for all birth professionals!
Comment: It's clear that the book is writen for professionals because of the jargon, and in my opinion every professional should read it! I am on my way to become a doula and unfortunately this book is not on the required reading list, I think it should be. It is an important tool for when labor doesn't progress 'as it should', and offers options and ideas to try before the drugs and machines are introduced to speed up labor are introduced.
