In her new book, Anastasia Sedova continues to debunk myths about childbirth. She shares details hidden from view and tells stories about unusual births. For an obstetrician-gynecologist, the word «childbirth» includes not only performing duties, but also sleepless on-call shifts, urgent decision-making, responsibility for lives, and emotionally charged moments. Anastasia Sedova, an obstetrician-gynecologist and creator of the popular «Midwife’s Blog» channel, where her stories resonate with many readers, also author of «An Obstetrician’s Diary,» shares what usually remains behind the scenes: difficult moments, complicated life situations, and how tenderly and fragilely new life begins to form. Why doesn’t one woman accept her child? Why does another categorically oppose medical procedures? How did the last attempt to conceive end with the birth of the long-awaited daughter? What matters more to the patient: examinations or a manicure? On the pages of «The Midwife’s Daily Life,» all these and other questions are revealed. This is a book about professionalism, compassion, and trust—about the daily miracle of new life in maternity hospitals, which doesn’t always happen easily and on time, but always happens sincerely.
