«Parir sin miedo» is Consuelo Ruiz Vélez-Frías's essay on childbirth, published by Editorial Ob Stare in paperback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyses how fear, ignorance and impatience have medicalised and dehumanised childbirth, a process that traditionally took place at home and within the family. The author argues that pain during birth has been institutionalised as an instrument of power and calls for the recovery of women's dignity and autonomy, advocating more conscious, natural and respectful care.
Published in 2009, this edition includes the subtitle «El legado de Consuelo Ruiz Vélez-Frías» on the cover.
Recommended for pregnant women, midwives and health professionals seeking a critical and humanised view of childbirth.
