  Why are so many women told that their labour must be started artificially? And what does the evidence actually say about waiting for labour to begin in its own time?  
  In 'In Your Own Time', midwife, researcher, and author Dr Sara Wickham explores one of the most important – and increasingly common – interventions in modern maternity care: the induction of labour. 
  Drawing on decades of experience in midwifery, research, and education, Dr Wickham examines the evidence behind due dates, induction policies and the management of late pregnancy. She looks at how current practices developed, questions some widely held assumptions, and explains what the research really shows.  
  Clear, thoughtful and grounded in evidence, this book helps listeners understand:  
  • how due dates became so central to modern maternity care  
  • why induction of labour is now so common  
  • what the research says about the benefits and risks of induction  
  • how policies and guidelines influence birth decisions  
  • why waiting for labour to begin in its own time may sometimes be the safest option.  
  Above all, In Your Own Time aims to help women, families, and birth professionals understand the evidence and feel more confident in navigating decisions about the end of pregnancy.  
  Chapters cover topics including:  
  • The advantages of the waiting days  
  • Why doesn't every woman get to birth in her own way?  
  • Guidelines, evidence and listening to women  
  • Due dates, windows and why the computer shouldn't decide  
  • Induction in late pregnancy - your baby isn't like a pumpkin  
  • Does my baby look big in this?  
  • Too old, too fat, too Black, too risky?  
  • Addressing the induction epidemic.  
  Calm, balanced, and accessible, this audiobook offers an informed and compassionate exploration of one of the most important questions in contemporary maternity care.

  Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia’s remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they’re expected to survive. Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth’s greatest creatures. It’s through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve… ”We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that’s been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven’t had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact.”

  What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
  Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
  A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
  This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
  This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
  Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
  The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
  Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
  ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG
