Praise for the previous edition: "This…edition is timely, useful, well organized, and should be in the bags of all doulas, nurses, midwives, physicians, and students involved in childbirth." –Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia is an unparalleled resource on simple, non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult or prolonged labor. Thoroughly updated and highly illustrated, the book shows how to tailor one’s care to the suspected etiology of the problem, using the least complex interventions first, followed by more complex interventions if necessary. This new edition now includes a new chapter on reducing dystocia in labors with epidurals, new material on the microbiome, as well as information on new counselling approaches specially designed for midwives to assist those who have had traumatic childbirths. Fully referenced and full of practical instructions throughout, The Labor Progress Handbook continues to be an indispensable guide for novices and experts alike who will benefit from its concise and accessible content.

This Is Your Anti-Suicide Note... I’m writing this note to YOU because I want you to know your life has great value. There are many books about preventing suicide, but few are written for those who want to commit suicide. This book is that book. This is a direct note to YOU...your anti-suicide note. Maybe you’ve been abandoned, abused, mocked, or humiliated. Perhaps you have sunk so low into despair that you think there’s no way to overcome what you are feeling. Feeling helpless, broken, abused, or unwanted is terrible, BUT you are not alone. Many have felt this way and overcame it. You can overcome too. I've been through pain as well, and that’s how I KNOW there is hope for you. I’m not sharing tips or strategies. This is a note from my heart to yours because I care about your life very much. Things will get better. God wanted me to write this book for you. To show you that you have a purpose. He has a plan for you. Even if you don’t know HIM. May your heart be open, your mind healed, and your life long. I hope you will write to me and tell me: I chose LIFE. You are greatly loved, Lisa Hanson
