Customer Reviews

Clear, concise and informative
As a midwifery student I have found the book an invaluable source of information for both theory and practice. The topics covered are essential to midwifery practice especially in the current climate of change. The book illustrates the true meaning of midwifery and gives excellent references to real life as a midwife. I found the book easy to read whilst being informative. This book should be the bible of every midwife and student alike. If you only buy one midwifery book this year it must be this one.

Real midwifery
I used this book when doing my research 2 years ago. This book is a gem for midwives supporting real midwifery. Take off your hospital midwives hat and put your midwifery hat on and read this with trust in your heart. You will learn so much from this book.
