The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality has just published a collective work entitled Maternity and Health: Science, Consciousness and Experience, encompassed within the Normal Delivery Care Strategy, which I consider to be an essential reading For every woman who is going to be a mother.
The document, which can be downloaded for free in pdf format, is an approach to a global vision of motherhood from three fundamental and complementary perspectives: science, consciousness and experience.
Within science, it addresses the scientific evidence that supports good practices in childbirth, the physiological aspect of motherhood, the processes that the mother and baby go through at birth, the importance of skin-to-skin contact ...
The awareness includes sensitivity and awareness of the most important life process in the lives of women and men, and finally, the experience brings the voice of other mothers who share their own experiences, from joy, pain , the frustration and all the emotions that mothers can go through.
The eminences that have participated in the preparation of the documents deserve a mention: Concepción Alba Romero (pediatrician), Isabel Aler (sociologist) and Ibone Olza Fernández (child and perinatal psychiatrist, whom we have mentioned sometimes in the blog, especially when she has talked about the neurobiology of childbirth.
The collaborations of María Jesús Blázquez, Carmen Rosa Pallás, Miguel Ángel Marín Gabriel and Alfonso Gil Sánchez also stand out.
I really recommend you 'Maternity and Health: Science, Consciousness and Experience'to future moms because you will find very interesting and revealing information to better understand motherhood.
