Today’s prosepctive parents are confronted by
a huge selection of guidebooks on pregnancy,
birth, and early childhood, and many of them
offer sensible advice and sound information that
can help mothers and fathers. Dr. zur Linden’s
long-established natural care book offers an
important additional dimension: In clear, accessible
language he explains what babies and
children need to harmoniously develop the full
potential of body, soul, and spirit.
Beginning with pregnancy, the author guides the
reader through the birth; the postnatal period
and breastfeeding; care of newborn babies; meals
for babies; and caring for children when they
are sick. He includes useful sections on bottlefeeding,
almond milk, and water quality. This
new edition has been expanded to also include
matters of contraception, drugs, thumb sucking,
sleep, crib death, overheating, and more.
Dr. zur Linden’s commentary on these issues is
the fruit of a lifetime of experience as a pediatrician
and general practitioner.

Rediscovering the needs of women
during Pregnancy and Childbirth

“Just when we thought everything had already
been said about birth and breastfeeding, Odent
challenges us anew with a vision that is both
provocative and compelling. ”
—Marian Thompson, president emeritus and
co-founder, La Leche League, International
Today, many women give birth without the natural
release of “love hormones,” giving birth via
caesarean section, or using drugs that not only
block the release of these natural substances,
but also do not have their beneficial behavioral
effects. This unprecedented situation gives us
urgent new reasons to rediscover the basic needs
of women in labor.
Michel Odent is popularly known as the obstetrician
who introduced the concepts of birthing pools and
homelike birthing rooms in the 1960s and 1970s.
He founded the Primal Health Research Centre in
London and has developed a pre-conception program
to minimize the effects of intrauterine and milk pollution.
He is the author of dozens of scientific papers
and ten books published in twenty languages.
PRIMal health
understanding the Critical Period between
Conception and the first birthday

In this prophetic book, Michel Odent asserts that
various aspects of the “primal adaptive system”
develop, regulate, and adapt during fetal life, birth,
and infancy. Everything during this period of dependence
on the mother influences primal health.
He suggests that later well-being as adults and
the ability to withstand hypertension, cancer,
alcoholism, and failures of the immune system
resulting in AIDS, allergies and viral diseases,
can all be traced back to society’s ignorance of
the vital importance of the primal period. This
is essential reading on the health of our children
and the health of society as a whole.

Kristina Turner looks closely at the physical processes
that occur in the body during pregnancy
and childbirth and explains factors behind hospital
procedures and the options for home birth,
providing readers with the knowledge needed
to make informed choices. She sees birthing as
a unified process—beginning with pregnancy,
through labor, and the months of breastfeeding—all
which contribute to developing the
bond between mother and child and the child’s
emotional health.
Both practical and inspiring, Natural Birth guides
new mothers toward conscious participation in
the spiritual process of bringing new life into
this world.
Kristina Turner has three children and works passionately
to help women have a positive experience of
