Description
The Baby Business: What's happened to maternity care in New Zealand? exposes the real story about how unsafe our maternity system has become over the past 18 years and how this has happened. Dr Exton was motivated to write this extensively researched book after a disquieting increase in the number of stories she was hearing from women of near misses, tragedies and unnecessarily complicated pregnancies and births. Dr Exton hopes this book--which has been two years in the writing--will be a wake-up call to health planners and those who care for pregnant and birthing women, but also provide advice to expectant parents about ways mothers can be better informed about the maternity system to keep themselves and their babies safe.
