Compared to the past, the rate of vaginal births has significantly increased. Pregnancy and childbirth are a sacred duty for every woman, but each pregnant woman often encounters various troubles and even psychological anxiety and fear before and after delivery.

Based on their long years of clinical experience, they provide easy-to-understand explanations on all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, which will undoubtedly help expectant mothers and fathers smoothly navigate this critical period and care for their newborns.
