Thirty-six percent of counties in America are labeled \"maternity care deserts\" where there is no or limited access to obstetric care--and it's only getting worse. We need a concise and comprehensive primer on the birth experience, whether that means a low-intervention birth or a complicated emergency c-section. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Birth Book\u003c\/i\u003e, OB-GYN hospitalist and educator Dr. Jennifer Lincoln delivers exactly that.
