To start talking about Give birth without fear. The legacy of Consuelo Ruiz Vélez-Frías, a book that has not yet touched my hands but will soon be in my library, we must start by knowing its author.
Consuelo Ruiz Vélez-Frías was a woman ahead of her time. It was midwife. He was born in Madrid in 1914 and brought children to the world practically until he died at the age of 91. His mission was to humanize and beautify childbirth.
I considered that the act of giving birth is the most beautiful function of the female organism, an idea that did not fit with the concept of childbirth care that I can see over so many years. He believed that he had become something "denigrating, sometimes shameful and unworthy of rational beings."
The book Give birth without fear It is a compilation of texts written by this pioneer midwife, the first to speak of childbirth without pain, who already in 1955 wrote 'Childbirth without pain' and at age 84 published a 'Primer to learn how to give birth'.
In the more than 250 pages of the book we can find the testimony of this woman who attended so many deliveries. You can surely help to better understand the essence of childbirth to many women who will soon give birth to their baby. Whatever type of delivery you choose, as the famous midwife said he has four enemies. "Ignorance, fear, pain and impatience."
