Summary

Birth Preferences Now explores the evolving landscape of childbirth, influenced significantly by social trends and individual empowerment. It examines how modern expectant parents are increasingly diverging from standardized medical protocols, often seeking natural childbirth methods and patient-centered care. The book highlights the impact of social media, where online communities and influencers shape perceptions and expectations around pregnancy and labor, sometimes leading to unrealistic or idealized views of the birth experience.

 
The book traces the historical shift from midwife-attended home births to medicalized hospital births and the current resurgence of interest in natural approaches. It delves into the motivations behind these choices, considering both the potential benefits and risks. Using diverse evidence, including surveys and interviews, Birth Preferences Now provides a comprehensive overview, starting with key concepts and progressing through the rise of natural childbirth and the influence of social media, culminating in practical recommendations for healthcare providers, policymakers, and parents.

 
A unique aspect of Birth Preferences Now is its emphasis on the ethical considerations surrounding birth choices, particularly when individual autonomy clashes with medical advice. This social science perspective offers valuable insights for navigating the complexities of modern childbirth, empowering readers to make informed decisions about their birth experience, understand the ongoing debates surrounding vaginal birth and cesarean sections, and advocating for patient-centered healthcare.

    The life of man in this sense-universe is a life of temptation. Man is born for Self-realisation. He is born for leading a religious life. But he is led astray by the temptations of his environments. He is spoiled by society. He has not got the strength of will to resist the temptations. The desire to attain knowledge of the Self will dawn in these proud, egoistic people only when they meet some adversities, calamities, troubles and disappointments. The desire to attain the knowledge of the Self dawns in a person who is free from desires for sense-objects. Such a man, with a pure mind alone, is competent to tread the spiritual path. With my experience in this book I am explaining mystery of creation, world, rebirth, death, liberation, religion, avatar, faith, maya and ego. If the readers of this books get enlighten by my knowledge I will feel happy and bliss. I welcome you all to my journey of sprituality.
    Regards,

    We always wonder that every House in Vedic astrology has different meaning and results. So how does the planet sitting in it will behave. So in this book I am describing how Venus will give results in different houses in most possible and descriptive way. The planet behavior changes along with the house it sits in and give different results. Every house itself is a mystery and planet sitting in house becomes more mysterious and gives results in very different pattern. Planet is nothing but a cosmic energy which in particular location in house during our birth impacts our entire life the way we think and the way we behave and also controls our emotions. The glands in our brain reacts to this cosmic energy and creates a certain characteristic in our life patter and day to day life and we can understand this by understanding our horoscope and by checking which house the planet is sitting and how it impacts our thinking and life. I hope you will love this book and enjoy reading.
