Review

"An incisive book, it should be on every obstetrician's reading list." ― Mothering

"Offers a careful regimen for change and ready-to-use advice for pregnant women and their doctors." ―
Publishers Weekly

"It is nothing short of courageous for a perinatologist to reveal that the supposed benefits of prenatal care as it's currently being delivered are unsubstantiated in medical research. Anyone who reads this book will discover the simple truth that it is women themselves, rather than their physicians or midwives, who have the power to influence their baby's well-being. Dr. Strong makes it abundantly clear there is cause to redesign the prenatal care delivery system in this country." -- Lylaine Gavette,Director of Bethany Women's Healthcare and Birth Center and member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Childbearing Centers

"Over the last 20 years, the majority of U.S. women have entered prenatal care early, yet our infant mortality and preterm rates have been lagging further and further behind other developed nations. It's past time to admit that something's very wrong with this picture and it's our children and families who are suffering. Tom Strong has the courage to question whether the problem might be with the prenatal care system itself and challenges the medical establishment and all of us to face and address this profound perinatal crisis in the America." -- Dr. Greg R. Alexander,Professor and Chair, Department of Maternal and Child Health, School of Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham

"What makes this book important is its comprehensiveness, its general readability, and the fact that it has been written by a practicing obstetrician rather than a health services researcher or an academic obstetrician" ―
The New England Journal of Medicine

Product Description

A controversial volume dispelling current misconceptions about prenatal care

In this controversial volume, Dr. Strong dispels widespread misconceptions about the effectiveness of prenatal care in its current form and explains how mothers themselves may influence the course and outcome of their pregnancies to a greater degree than do their obstetricians. He provides specific questions that parents should be asking their health care providers to ensure that they and their babies receive the best care possible.

From Library Journal

Drawing from the literature of medical and epidemiological research, Strong"a second-generation obstetrician"presents compelling evidence that prenatal care in the United States does little to improve birth outcomes. The current trend toward universal prenatal care is fueled not by evidence that it is effective, he argues, but by unexamined assumptions as well as political expediency and economic greed. While stressing that access to prenatal care should not be impeded, Strong recommends that the technology and costs for uncomplicated pregnancies be scaled down, noting that prenatal care for these pregnancies could be shifted from obstetricians to midwives whose care is as effective but less costly. Obstetricians, in turn, could then focus on what they do well"assisting pregnancies with medical complications that respond to treatment"and the routine use of costly, high-tech procedures that do not improve outcome could be halted. In support of his vision, Strong explores a range of medical and public-policy issues currently under debate. Provocative and stimulating, this book performs a valuable service by bringing evidence on this vital issue out of the research literature and into public discourse and providing the tools for a long-needed paradigm shift. Recommended for public and academic libraries."Noemie Maxwell, Seattle Midwifery Sch.
