The Official Lamaze Guide

Lamaze International has a rich history spanning many years. A decade ago, they entrusted the task of creating their official book to two distinguished authors, Judith Lothian and Charlotte DeVries. These authors were chosen for their deep involvement with Lamaze, their extensive knowledge of normal birth, and their remarkable ability to convey the message of expected childbirth to families. With Lamaze’s unwavering support, Lothian and DeVries dedicated substantial time and effort to find a publisher willing to produce a book that stood out from others in their field.

The result of their collaborative effort is ‘The Official Lamaze Guide’, a powerful and transformative resource that portrays pregnancy and birth as a family-centered experience rather than a medical event, challenging prevailing misconceptions. Lothian and DeVries undertook this project on behalf of Lamaze International, with the primary goal of providing educators with the essential tools to guide women and families in the journey of normal birth. Their aim was to ensure that all women, regardless of their attendance at childbirth classes, could make informed and confident decisions.
